In the twilight in the evening, in the black and dark night, there was a woman who met him with an attire of a harlot and crafty heart. She was loud and rebellious. Her feet would not stay at home. At times she was outside, at times in the open square, lurking in every corner.
• So she caught him and kissed him with an impedent face. She said to him, notice this, I have peace offerings with me today. I have paid my vows. According to Leviticus 7, she would have had to have done that at the temple. She would have had to gone to church. She had a religious cloak about her. She had some religion, but she’s a married woman.
• And she says these words, “I have a peace offering with me today. I’ve paid my vows. I came out to meet you diligently to seek your face. I have found you. I have spread my bed with tapestry colored coverings from Egyptian linen. I have perfumed my bed with myrr, alos, cinnamon. Come, let us take our feel of love until morning.
