# beloved

Some versions such as the UDB understand this word to refer to the one who loves the woman, but the ULB understands it to refer to the one whom the woman loves. See how you translated this in [Song of Solomon 1:13](../01/12.md).

# Arise

"Get up"

# my love

"you whom I love." See how you translated this in [Song of Solomon 1:9](../01/09.md)

# Look

"Listen carefully" or "What I am about to say is important." You could use a word in your language that tells the hearer to listen carefully.

# the winter is past; the rain is over and gone

In winter it is too cold and wet to make love outside, but the cold, wet time has passed.

# the winter is past

Winter is the cold time of year when plants do not grow and people prefer to stay inside their houses. You could use the term in your language for that time of year.

# the rain is over and gone

In Israel it only rains during the winter. The rain here is cold and unpleasant, not the refreshing rain of the hot season.
