Song of Solomon 6:11

Solomon wants to check whether it is spring again. The couple often considered that spring would be the right time for their marriage (2:7, 2:10-13). Solomon often used *pomegranates as a description of the young woman’s face (4:3, 13; 6:7). Now he wants to see if she is ready for love.

When the woman wanted to know the right time for love, the man advised her to look at nature (2:10-15). The plants and animals seem to know the right time for love. And now the young woman followed this advice. She examined the plants, as a farmer would examine them. She saw that, in Spring, they were beginning to grow. And this was like a promise that there would be fruit and nuts in the Autumn.
