The Four Things King Solomon Did Not Know
Question
It is written in the Book of Solomon that Solomon said: four things are beyond me, and I did not know their way: the way of the eagle in the heavens, the way of the eagle on the rocks, the way of a man with a maiden, and one more thing I do not remember exactly. Can you tell me what he meant by not knowing them? After all, he was the wisest of men. What is he referring to?
Thank you very much, Carmit.
