Song of Solomon 8:5

Who is this, &c. These seem to be the words of the daughters of Jerusalem, or of the friends of the bride and bridegroom, admiring and congratulating this happy union: leaning upon her beloved Which implies both great freedom and familiarity, and fervent affection and dependance upon him. I raised thee up These are Christ's words: when thou wast fallen, and laid low, and dead in trespasses and sins, and in the depth of misery, I revived thee: Under the apple-tree Under my own shadow: for she had compared him to an apple-tree, and declared, that under the shadow of the tree she had both delight and fruit, (Song of Solomon 2:3,) which is the same thing with this raising up. There Under that tree, either the universal or the primitive church did conceive and bring thee forth.
