“ I am a black woman”....if tanned by being outside she would have not used the phrase I am a black woman” or it’s follow up of being beautiful, no?

A KJV editor notes “tan”. If this Song has its roots in EGyptian love poetry black then would need no explanation. Hebrew editors in order to still honor the text may have edited by addition the text so there was some excuse to adopt it. This is suppposition and agreeable to academic commentary.
