Introduction 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Ecclesiastes Isaiah
Song of Solomon 5
5:1 I have
come into my
a garden, my sister, [my]
spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with
my honey; I have drank my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink
abundantly, O beloved.
(
a) The garden signifies the kingdom of Christ,
where he prepares the banquet for his elect.
5:2 b I
sleep, but my heart waketh: [it is] the voice of my beloved that knocketh,
[saying], Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is
filled with dew, [and] my locks with the drops of the
c
night.
(
b) The spouse says that she is troubled with the
cares of worldly things, which is meant by sleeping.
(
c) Declaring the long patience of the Lord
toward sinners.
5:3 I have put off my
d
coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
(
d) The spouse confesses her nakedness, and that
of herself she has nothing, or seeing that she is once made clean she promises
not to defile herself again.
5:5 I rose up to open to my
beloved; and my hands flowed [with] myrrh, and my
e
fingers [with] sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
(
e) The spouse who should be anointed by Christ
will not find him if she thinks to anoint him with her good works.
5:7 The
f
watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the
keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
(
f) These are the false teachers who wound the
conscience with their traditions.
5:8 I charge you,
g
O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I [am]
sick with love.
(
g) She asks of them who are godly (as the law
and salvation should come out of Zion and Jerusalem) that they would direct
her to Christ.
5:9 h What
[is] thy beloved more than [another] beloved, O thou fairest among women? what
[is] thy beloved more than [another] beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
(
h) Thus say they of Jerusalem.
5:11 His
i
head [is as] the most fine gold, his locks [are] bushy, [and] black as a raven.
(
i) She describes Christ to be of perfect beauty
and comeliness.
