And Behold-Builder is walking in the days of wheats-harvest, and is finding mandrakes968 in the field, and is causing to come in אֶת-them in toward Weary, his mother, and Ewe is saying toward Weary, `Give now to-myself, from the mandrakes of your builder.`
Footnote:
| 968 | Strong’s #1736, דּוּדַי duday. This comes from the word meaning beloved and uncle and is used throughout the Song of Solomon. The Hebrew root means to boil. The mandrake is a unique plant in that its root has the form of a human body. They are described in Songs 7:13 as having a fragrance. The mandrake root is a hallucinogenic and hypnotic narcotic. What is this mysterious relationship between a mandrake plant, a beloved, and an uncle? Take note of the time that these mandrakes were gathered. |
