Ester Davida and her daughters (Tangier)


A wedding song about the dowry display. It is very important that the bride's dowry should be approved by her future mother and sister-in-law (v.1-4). A dream dreamt by the bride is described: she bathes in the river (v.11-12), and a wave is about to carry her away (v. 13-14). (For a possible interpretation of this dream see 8c below.)
