desire
te.shu.qah denotes desire directed toward another in the Genesis clauses; its Song occurrence is not isolated by the translation.
The attested use shows desire directed toward a person or target: in Genesis it is stated of the woman toward her husband and of sin toward the addressed person, while the supplied Song translation does not isolate the term's contribution.

The construct noun occurs in Genesis 3:16 and Genesis 4:7 in clauses that state a relation toward another: in Genesis 3:16 the APB renders, "Your desire will be for your husband," and in Genesis 4:7 it renders sin's desire as being "for you." Song of Songs 7:11 has the same construct-noun morphology, but the supplied APB rendering does not identify its specific contribution to the verse.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Genesis 3:16 and Genesis 4:7, the APB explicitly uses "desire" in clauses directed toward a husband and toward the addressed person. In Song of Songs 7:11, its translation does not visibly render the term, so the correspondence cannot be isolated from the supplied English.
