It is perfect if you let Victoria speak the line. In complete agreement with David’s vanity also. The spelling of Victoria’s name is surprisingly learned, “vhikToriyÃ¢”, with the scientific ligature of va and ha, which few common Hindi speakers use, or even are acquainted with, to indicate the English phoneme v, which is unknown in Hindi. David need not be embarrased, his ignorant country folk ought to. Whether you like tattoos or not.

How could this passage be edited to refer to a woman?

I don’t think the tatto was such a good idea.

Beckham may interpret the verse to refer to God or Jesus. If so, it would place hime outside of the mainsteam of historical-critical exegesis, but in very good company with ancient rabbinic and patristic interpreters of the Song of Songs. Frankly, it may even be appropriate to say that the book would not appear in the Bible at all if it had not been read that way by those who preserved the Scriptures for us in the crucial centuries prior to and following the time of Jesus. And, at the very least, whether Song of Songs SHOULD be read that way or not, its words can be aptly applied to the relationship between God and his loved ones on earth in ways that comport nicely with most any Christian and Jewish theology.

If Beck’s was goint to butcher the Greek and put a tattoo on his other forearm that was incorrect, or inappropriate, but looked pretty, any suggestions what that might be? Or are people only doing this with Hebrew?
