Victoria Posh Spice Bekham's tattoo explained

By Ben Mordechai

This is the Hebrew on Victoria’s back (from top to bottom across her neck and back, read from right to left here:

אֲנִי לְֹדִי

וְדוֹדִי לִי

הָרֹעֶה בִּּים

 It’s a quote from Song of Solomon 6:3.

 This is how one pronounces it, phrase-by-phrase (capitalized syllables receive stress):

 אֲנִי לְדוֹדִי

Ah-NEE  le-doh-DEE

 וְדוֹדִי לִי

 Ve-doh-DEE  LEE

הָרֹעֶה בּׁים

 Ha-roh-EY ba-shoh-sha-NEEM

Here is a translation (a girl speaks):

I am my love’s
and my love is mine,
who browses among the lilies.

(Song of Solomon 6:3)
