This ministry is dedicated to helping to prepare you (the bride) for Yeshua (the Bridegroom). The Song of Solomon is a \u00a0poetic and romantic picture\u00a0of this wedding process.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe this will give you a different, more Hebraic, perspective on the Song of Solomon\u2014the most romantic book in the Bible.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Three Main Phases to the Jewish Wedding and the Biblical Feasts<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1) Betrothal (<i>Shitre Erusin<\/i>) &#8211; Passover, Unleavened Bread and Pentecost<\/p>\n<p>2) Consummation and the Wedding Feast (<i>Nesuim<\/i>) &#8211; The Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Feast of Tabernacles<\/p>\n<p>3) Together for Eternity (<i>Olam Haba<\/i>) &#8211; The Eighth Day picturing the New Jerusalem<\/p>\n<p><b>The Three Main Phases and Sub-Phases of the Wedding in the Song of Solomon<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Song 1:1\u20133:5<\/b><b> \u2014 The Betrothal Phase (Erusin)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>a) The <i>Ketubah<\/i>. The young man prepares a marriage contract or covenant which he presents to the young woman and her father called a <i>ketubah<\/i> (writing). This is a formal written document which stipulates the terms of the proposal he is making.<\/p>\n<p>b) The Bride\u2019s Price or <i>Mohar<\/i>. This is the price the young man is willing to pay the father for the father\u2019s permission for the young man to marry his daughter.<\/p>\n<p>c) The Cup of Acceptance. If the marriage contract and the bride\u2019s price are acceptable to the father, the young man would pour a cup of wine for his intended and would hold it out to her. If she would accept it and drink it then this would be her acceptance of his proposal. The bridegroom would then prepare for the joyous occasion of the upcoming marriage by bringing gifts for his beloved which would be tokens of his love for her. After the young man left to return to his father\u2019s home, the bride would begin to prepare herself for the upcoming marriage ceremony. She would start with a ceremonial cleansing (or mikveh) whereby she would purify herself in preparation for her husband. At this point the young couple were betrothed.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Preparation Phase<\/b><\/p>\n<p>a) The groom would go to prepare a place for her. Though the couple was legally bound in marriage they would not cohabit. The groom would return to his father\u2019s house and begin to prepare a wedding (honeymoon) chamber for his wife. This process would take up to a year or more. Only when the father of the groom would approve that the chamber was ready would the groom be released to get his bride.<\/p>\n<p>b) The bride would make herself ready. While the groom was preparing a place for his bride, she would be busy preparing herself by making herself beautiful. When the young bride would leave the house she would wear a veil to show that she was \u201cspoken for\u201d and that she was no longer available since she was \u201cbought with a price\u201d. She was consecrated to her bridegroom.<\/p>\n<p><b>Song 3:6\u20136:1 \u2014 The Reunion Phase<\/b><\/p>\n<p>a) Upon receiving word from the father the wedding chamber was complete, the groom would steal away to fetch his bride. She would not know the day or the hour of his coming, so she had to be continually ready for his arrival. She had to be ready at a moment\u2019s notice. She and her bridesmaids had to make sure they had plenty of oil in their lamps in case he came at night.<\/p>\n<p>b) Coming for the bride. The coming of the groom would be a surprise to the bride. He would come accompanied by his two groomsmen (or two witnesses). When the wedding party would get close to the bride\u2019s house they would give a shout and blow the ram\u2019s horn (shofar) to let the bride know they were coming. They would charge right into the house and carry off the bride and bridesmaids.<\/p>\n<p><b>Song 3:6\u20138:4<\/b><b> \u2014 The Wedding Phase or Nuptials (<i>Nesuim<\/i>)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>c) The wedding party would arrive at the groom\u2019s father\u2019s house where the newlyweds would enter the wedding chamber and consummate the marriage and honeymoon for seven days. This established their covenant union. During intercourse, blood is spilled proving that the bride was a virgin.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Celebration Phase<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The celebration would last for seven days while the newlyweds are in celebrating their honeymoon. Following this would be the marriage supper which is given in honor of the newlyweds.<\/p>\n<p><b>Song 8:5\u201314<\/b><b> \u2014 Eternity Together (<i>Olam Haba<\/i>)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The newly married couple begins life together.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Outline of the Song of Solomon as It Relates to the Biblical Hebrew
