Song of Songs 2:1 Douay-Rheims

I am the flower of the field, and the lily of the valleys.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

a rose Heb. חֲבַצֶלֶת. This is a rose (שּׁוֹשַׁנָה).
a rose of the valleys This is prettier than the rose of the mountains because it is always moist, since the sun has no strength there.

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
