It's also true in the ancient Near East when it comes to cold weather. Now they do have winter. We think of the ancient Aries as always hot in the desert, but they have winter. It snows sometimes in Jerusalem. But here's what they didn't have in Solomon's day. They had no way to know what we would call a norther was gonna blow through and the temperature is gonna drop forty, fifty degrees in a matter of hours. And when that happens, if you were a traveler and you were caught out in some sort of winter storm, if you were alone there would be no way to keep warm. But two could huddle together and keep warm. This isn't about romance. It's about survival.
