Study note

Setting — The beloved addresses the speaker, issuing an invitation between his appearance behind a wall and the statement that winter has ended.

The words — The Hebrew imperative ק֥וּמִי (Ku.mi) means "arise," and וּ/לְכִי־ (u./le.khi-) means "and come," forming the core summons.

The thread — The same invitation appears in Song 2:13, while Revelation 22:17 echoes the call with "Come!" from the Spirit and the bride.

Why it lands — The text commands immediate movement and departure, requiring the reader to recognize the urgency of the summons without adding external meaning.
