The mutual-belonging formula develops again in 7:10: “I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.”

Song 7:10 and Genesis 3:16 share the rare Hebrew noun teshuqah, “desire,” creating a strong lexical connection. The contexts differ sharply—post-Fall judgment versus joyful mutual love—so claims of deliberate reversal or healing should remain interpretive rather than certain.

Song 7:10 uses the rare Hebrew noun teshuqah also found in Genesis 4:7. The shared word creates a strong lexical link, while the settings sharply differ: sin’s threatening desire toward Cain versus welcomed desire within mutual love.

Song 7:13 and Genesis 30:14–16 share the Hebrew word for mandrakes in settings involving sexuality, fertility, and relationship. The direct lexical link is strong, while the Song transforms the atmosphere from domestic rivalry and bargaining to mutual desire and invitation.

Song 7:11–13 invites the beloved to “come” into the countryside; Revelation 22:17 closes with the Spirit and the bride saying “Come,” within Revelation’s wider reuse of Song bridal imagery.
