Song of Solomon 8:5

5. The wilderness Hebrew, the plain. Dismissed now from the palace, the people of the village the Homeric τις the casual group, ask of each other this question. Not hearing certainly not heeding any words of theirs, they pass on in tender musing’s, until a dear old trysting place, an apple tree, calls out a remark.

I raised thee up Hebrew, I incited thee to love. The common people of the East live much in the open air, and it is not extraordinary that the Beloved may have been born under the apple tree, (Hebrew, this apple tree,) where, in years long after, the speaker won his heart. The repetition here given makes the identification of the tree the more forcible.
