# watchmen

men who have the job of keeping guard of the town at night to keep the people safe

# as they were making their rounds in the city

"who were walking around the city on the walls"

# him whom my soul loves

The soul is a metonym for the whole person. Here it makes a stronger statement of the woman's love for the man than "my beloved" ([Song of Songs 1:14](../01/12.md)). See how you translated this in [Song of Songs 3:1](./01.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# bedroom

"the room for sleeping"

# the one who had conceived me

This is a metonym for her mother. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
