Song of Songs 8

Under each verse is the Hebrew source text word by word, from right to left: each prefix, stem and suffix with its transliteration, English gloss, Extended Strong's number and morphology code. Source text: STEPBible's TAHOT (CC BY 4.0)

Tap a word to mark it throughout the chapter; a morphology code explains itself the same way (in English).
