The Song of Songs, Chapter 3ΑΣΜΑ ΑΣΜΑΤΩΝ Γ′

Each verse opens with the running Greek, an English translation, and a discourse note (its connective, relation, and role in the argument). Below follows the word-by-word breakdown in six tiers: gloss, case (color), parsing, syntax, semantic force, and a lexical note.

Case Nominative Genitive Dative Accusative Vocative Verb (no case) Indeclinable

Discourse notes head each verse: relation · connective · clause-flow. Indentation marks prominence — flush-left = main line of argument; indented = supporting / subordinate material.

Theme

Night-search yearning opens into reunion and then widens into Solomon's perfumed wedding procession.

Translation & textual notes

The Greek text of Song of Songs 3 follows the standard critical text of the Septuagint as established in the Rahlfs-Hanhart edition (Septuaginta, rev. ed. 2006), an ancient and public-domain text; the critical apparatus is not reproduced. The chapter moves from nocturnal search to public royal spectacle. The woman's night-search for the one her soul loves gives way to encounter with city-watchmen, reunion, and a second adjuration to the daughters of Jerusalem. The latter half then shifts scenes dramatically to Solomon's procession, perfumed ascent from the wilderness, guarded couch, and wedding-day crown. The result is a chapter that joins yearning, successful finding, maternal-house imagery, and royal nuptial pageantry.

ἐπὶ κοίτην μου ἐν νυξὶν ἐζήτησα ὃν ἠγάπησεν ἡ ψυχή μου ἐζήτησα αὐτὸν καὶ οὐχ εὗρον αὐτόν ἐκάλεσα αὐτόν καὶ οὐχ ὑπήκουσέν μου

Upon my bed in the nights I sought the one my soul loved; I sought him and did not find him. I called him, and he did not heed me.

night search beginsἐπὶ
The chapter opens with absence and persistence: desire seeks in the dark and initially goes unanswered.
