Song of Solomon 7:8

I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples; GO UP TO THE PALM TREE ... TAKE HOLD OF THE BOUGHS THEREOF. The daughters are no longer content to admire, but resolve to lay "hold" of her fruits, high though these be. The palm stem is bare for a great height, and has its crown of fruit-laden boughs at the summit. It is the symbol of triumphant joy. It was so used at Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem: so hereafter, at Christ's coming again, of which the palm-bearing multitude gave an earnest. NOW ALSO THY BREAST - namely, those of restored and converted Israel (). AS CLUSTERS OF THE VINE - Jesus Christ (). s...

1-9 The similitudes here are different from what they were before, and in the original refer to glorious and splendid clothing. Such honour have all his saints; and having put on Christ, they are distinguished by their beautiful and glorious apparel. They adorn the doctrine of God their Saviour in all things. Consistent believers honour Christ, recommend the gospel, and convince and awaken sinners. The church resembles the stately and spreading palm; while her love for Christ, and the obedience resulting therefrom, are precious fruit of the true Vine. The King is held in the galleries. Christ takes delight in the assemblies and ordinances of his people; and admires the fruit of his grace in them. When applied to the church and to each faithful Christian, all this denotes that beauty of holiness, in which they shall be presented to their heavenly Bridegroom....

Verse Song of Solomon 7:8. _I WILL GO UP TO THE PALM TREE_] I will take hold on the boughs of this tree, and climb up by them, in order to gather the clusters of dates at the top. The _rubric_ here in the old MS. interprets this of the _cross of Christ_....

A brief dialogue; Song of Solomon 7:6 are spoken by the king, Song of Solomon 7:9 and Song of Solomon 7:10 by the bride. Song of Solomon 7:6 A general sentiment. How fair, and what a charm hast thou, O love! Among delightsome things! Compare Song of Solomon 2:7, note;...

EXPOSITION SONG OF SOLOMON 7:1 HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THY FEET IN SANDALS, O PRINCE'S DAUGHTER! THE JOINTS OF THY THIGHS ARE LIKE JEWELS, THE WORK OF THE HANDS OF A CUNNING WORKMAN. To the ladies who are looking on the bride appears simply noble and royal. The word _naudhib _which is used, translated "prince's daughter," means "noble in disposition," and so in birth and rank, as in 1 Samuel 2:8; Psalms 113:8; so in So 6:12, "the princely people." The description, which is perfectly chaste, is intended to bring before the eye the lithe and beautiful movements of an elegant ,lancer; the bendings of the body, full of activity and grace, are compared to the swi

I SAID, I WILL GO UP TO THE PALM TREE,.... Which is easy of ascent; having, in the bark of the trunk or body of the tree, rings like steps, whereby the eastern people climb it with incredible swiftness, as Pliny n relates: these steps are made by the lower boughs being lopped off, whose knots, or "pollices", as Dr. Shaw o calls them, being gradually left upon the trunk of the tree, serve, like so many rungs of a ladder, to climb up the tree; either to fecundate it, or to lop it, or to gather the fruit; and Lucian says p, "those that have seen how men get up into palm trees, in Arabia, Egypt, and other places, must needs understand what he says about climbing the Phalli, in the temple of Hierapolis in Syria, he is describing.'' By the "palm tree" may be meant the church militant, who yet gets the victory over all her enemies, of which the palm tree is an emblem; and Christ's "going up...

CHAPTER 7 The rapturous outburst in praise of the bride, the saved and glorified remnant of Israel, with which this chapter begins, must not be put into the lips of the bridegroom, the Messiah-King. It is the praise of the daughters of Jerusalem, who now recognize her as the beloved of the King. Her highest confession is found in this chapter. He begins to speak of her with Song of Solomon 7:6, “How fair and pleasant art thou, my love, in delights.” She answers His expressions of love. “I am my Beloved's, and His desire is toward me.” This is the highest--to know she possesseth Him and that His heart's delight is in her. This, too, is our happy knowledge. We know He belongs to us; we are Christ's and in us He has, and finds, His delight. Blessed is the scene with which this chapter closes. He calls on her to go forth with Him into the fields, to go to the vineyards, to see

SONG OF SOLOMON 6:13 TO SONG OF SOLOMON 8:4. THE DANCING BRIDE AND THE RAPTURE OF LOVE. This section also is probably composed of different lyrics, though it is difficult to separate them; we have first the description of the loved one or bride in the act of dancing, then the comparison of her figure to a date palm, and finally a song of love and spring, concluding with the repetition of Song of Solomon 2:6 f. In Song of Solomon 7:1 it is possible that we have a descriptive poem setting forth the charms of the bride and sung by a chorus of women at the wedding dance....

Song of Solomon 7:7 Chap. Song of Solomon 8:4. The King and the Shepherdess the last Assault We may suppose that after her attendants have completed the Shulammite's adornment, and have finished their fulsome praises of her beauty, she receives a new visit from the king. In Song of Solomon 7:7-9 he gives utterance to his admiration in more sensuous terms than ever, and in Song of Solomon 7:9 _b_she turns his talk aside, and dwells upon her lover. In Song of Solomon 7:10 she gives h

How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of a skillful workman. 2. Thy body is like a round goblet Wherein no mingled wine is wanting. Thy waist is like a heap of wheat set about with lilies. 3.
