Song of Songs 5-8, Psalm 107

As mentioned at the beginning of our last episode, we’re taking a brief hiatus from the narrative of Solomon to read through Song of Songs. This continues in line with our chronological reading of the Old Testament. The Lord created mankind in his image as male and female, and from the beginning the joys of sex were part of his design for humanity. Speaking of Adam and Eve’s union in the Garden of Eden, it says in Genesis 2:24-25 “This is why a man leaves his father and mother and bonds with his wife, and they become one flesh. Both the man and his wife were naked, yet felt no shame.”
