Song of Songs 3:4

כִּמְעַ֣ט׀ שֶׁעָבַ֣רְתִּי מֵהֶ֗ם עַ֤ד שֶׁמָּצָ֙אתִי֙ אֵ֚ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֔י אֲחַזְתִּ֖יו וְלֹ֣א אַרְפֶּ֑נּוּ עַד־שֶׁהֲבֵיאתִ֗יו אֶל־בֵּ֤ית אִמִּי֙ וְאֶל־חֶ֣דֶר הוֹרָתִ֔י׃
King James Version (KJV)

It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

Modern English

I had scarcely passed from them when I found him whom my soul loves. I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, into the room of her who conceived me.

Hebrew

כִּמְעַ֣ט׀ שֶׁעָבַ֣רְתִּי מֵהֶ֗ם עַ֤ד שֶׁמָּצָ֙אתִי֙ אֵ֚ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֔י אֲחַזְתִּ֖יו וְלֹ֣א אַרְפֶּ֑נּוּ עַד־שֶׁהֲבֵיאתִ֗יו אֶל־בֵּ֤ית אִמִּי֙ וְאֶל־חֶ֣דֶר הוֹרָתִ֔י׃
