I translated this piyyut for a shiur I gave on Shavuot 5777. Shavuot is sometimes seen as the marriage of God and Israel, and Najara bases his piyyut for Shavuot on that concept. Its structure follows that of the traditional Ketubah, with many biblical quotations and allusions, especially from Shir HaShirim.
