Song of Solomon 2:15

Take us the foxes. The meaning of this line and the identification of the speaker are matters of conjecture. Moulton suggests that the bride hears her brothers speaking to her, or that they interrupt the bridegroom, who says he wants to see her face and hear her voice. They give the warning against the foxes that come in the spring and destroy the vines that are just then in blossom. Some think that the Shulamite is giving the reason why she cannot immediately respond to her beloved’s invitation, since she has domestic duties to perform. Others think that the reference is merely to the playful pleasure the happy lovers would enjoy chasing the little foxes in the aromatic vineyards.
