Editing Song of Songs (section)

==Title==
The introduction calls the poem "the song of songs",{{sfn|Garrett|1993|p=348}} a phrase that follows an idiomatic construction commonly found in [[Scriptural Hebrew]] to indicate the object's status as the greatest and most beautiful of its class (as in ''[[Holy of Holies]]'').{{sfn|Keel|1994|p=38}} The work is also referred to as the "Song of Solomon", meaning the song 'of', 'by', 'for', or '[dedicated] to' Solomon.<ref>[[Athalya Brenner|Brenner, A.]], ''21.
