Place Me Like a Seal Over Your Heart...
Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
Song of Songs 8:6-7*
* Seals were precious their owners, as personal as their names. Probably a poetic synonym for "hand." (unyielding as the grave). As the grave will not give up the dead, so love will not surrender the loved one. (mighty flame). The Hebrew expression conveys the idea of a most intense flame, hinting that it has been kindled by the Lord.
