Why should I be like someone who wanders beside the flocks of your companions?

The woman asks this question to emphasize that she has a closer relationship to the man than other women do. This question can be translated as a statement. AT: "Tell me so that I will not need to wander around among the flocks of your companions when I am looking for you." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

wanders

"goes all around." She does not want to have to look for the man. Perhaps she is afraid other men will think she is a prostitute looking for business. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

companions

"friends" or "co-workers"
