Sol 3:4 4 Scarcely had I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loveth. I seized him, and did not let him go Until I brought him into the house of my mother, And into the chamber of her that gave me birth. כּמעט = paululum, here standing for a sentence: it was as a little that I passed, etc.
