# the daughters of Zion
Zion, meaning here the city of Jerusalem, is spoken of as if it were a woman with her daughters. Alternate translation: "the women of Zion" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# with their necks extended
"in an arrogant way""
# with flirting eyes
Looking at men in a way that makes the men think the women want sexual relations.
# walking with tiny steps as they go
This is how they would walk to attract men, possibly because the bracelets on their ankles were connected by chains decorated with bells so they could not take normal steps.
