Let’s go to the field (1)

Text
Šulgi Z, Segments A 10-23, B 10-13:
“My sister, I would go with you to my fields. My fair sister, I would go with you to my fields. I would go with you to my large fields. I would go with you to my small fields. For my early grain irrigated with its early water, for my late grain irrigated with its late water, …… its grain …… sheaves …….” … My (?) sister, I would go with you to my garden. My fair sister, I would go with you to my garden. My sister, I would go with you to my garden.

Song of Songs 7:12-13:
“Come, my beloved, let’s go to the field. We will pass the night in the countryside; we will go early to the vineyards. We will see if the vine has blossomed, the bud opened, the pomegranates bloomed. There I will give you my love.”
