Exegesis
The verse begins with synonymous parallelism in which ayelet ahavim {אַיֶּלֶת אֲהָבִים | ʾă-ye-leṯ ʾă-hā-ḇîm} ‘a doe of loves’ is paired with yaʿălat ḥên {יַעֲלַת חֵן | ya-ʿă-lat ḥên} ‘a deer of grace’, both in genitive constructs that ascribe affection and charm to the beloved.
In context — Proverbs 5:19
A doe of loves , a deer of grace—may her breasts satisfy you at all times; may you ever be intoxicated in her love.
