Song of Solomon: hair like a flock of goats

Here’s what it means

The beloved’s dark, flowing hair is compared with a flock moving down a hillside.

Why the Bible says it this way

The writer compares two things using words such as “like” or “as.” The comparison focuses on one shared feature.

A helpful detail: The comparison is visual and dynamic, not an insult or a claim that hair is animal fur.
