However, it should be noted, that the phenomenon of urbanization characterized the historical transformation of the ancient society of Israel, and the term h\u2019yr \u201cthe city\u201d as a toponym for Jerusalem \u2013 gained a significant place in Hebrew epic and also is present in poetry. Taking into consideration the context and the way in which the image of the City emerges in the two poetic episodes of the Song of Songs (Song 3 and 5) it has to be noticed that: the way of treatment of the wandering woman by the guards of the city in the second poem recalls the Assyrian customs, but in the first fragment seems to illustrate much earlier period; the intentional use only of the unbound form of the noun \u201cthe City\u201d without any complements, in place of the toponym for Jerusalem is characteristic for the First Temple period. These facts indicate the late preexilic period and the territory of the Kingdom of Judah as the editorial time and environment for at least part of the songs contained in the Song of Songs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b08a9df e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6b08a9df\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-249b6762 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"249b6762\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Keywords:<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-458e37f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"458e37f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article-keywords\">\n  <div class=\"kw-inline\">\n   the city, Jerusalem, toponym, Song of Songs, preexilic period\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n  .article-keywords {\n    margin-top: 0.5rem; \/* odstup pod nadpisom *\/\n  }\n\n  .kw-inline {\n    font-size: 14px;\n    line-height: 1.6;\n  }\n\n  .kw-inline a {\n    color: #a73a2d;\n    text-decoration: none;\n  }\n\n  .kw-inline a:hover {\n    text-decoration: underline;\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n<script>\n  \/\/ z\u00e1klad pre vyh\u013ead\u00e1vanie (uprav, ak m\u00e1\u0161 in\u00fd tvar URL)\n  var SEARCH_BASE = '\/?s=';\n\n  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){\n    document.querySelectorAll('.kw-inline').forEach(function(el){\n      var raw = (el.textContent || '').trim();\n      if(!raw) return;\n\n      var terms = raw.split(',').map(function(s){ return s.trim(); }).filter(Boolean);\n\n      el.textContent = '';\n      terms.forEach(function(term, idx){\n        var a = document.createElement('a');\n        a.href = SEARCH_BASE + encodeURIComponent(term);\n        a.textContent = term;\n        a.rel = 'nofollow';\n        el.appendChild(a);\n\n        if(idx < terms.length - 1){\n          el.appendChild(document.createTextNode(', '));\n        }\n      });\n    });\n  });\n<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7df79203 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7df79203\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5a2939 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b5a2939\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56a0781b elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"56a0781b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article\"\r\n    data-title=\"Motif of \u201cthe city\u201d in the Song of Songs\"\r\n    data-author=\"Marek I.
