In Song of Songs, there’s a verse “I am black and I am beautiful”. I know Solomon had an Egyptian wife and loved the queen of Saba. Lots of symbolism here. Is the hebrew word (I don’t know Hebrew and would love to have this verse included in the ancient Hebrew) black or tanned? Latin says “nigra”. Shalom & Thank you. I ask to settle a discussion on a language forum: languefrancaise.net
