עַלְמָה

Here I am, standing beside this spring. Now if a maiden comes out to draw water and I say to her, ‘Please let me drink a little water from your jar,’

“Go ahead,” Pharaoh’s daughter told her. And the girl went and called the boy’s mother.

The singers lead the way, the musicians follow after, among the maidens playing tambourines.

…the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship at sea, and the way of a man with a maiden.

The fragrance of your perfume is pleasing; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens adore you.

There are sixty queens and eighty concubines, and maidens without number,

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.
