# grazing among the lilies
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"eating plants among the lilies." While it is clear that the man "grazing among the lilies" is a metaphor for making love ([Song of Songs 2:16](../02/16.md)), it is not clear what these words refer to. It is best to translate them literally.

# lilies

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sweet-smelling flowers that grow in places where there is much water. Translate as the plural of "lily" in [Song of Songs 2:1](../02/01.md).
