Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Song of Solomon 8:3

3, 4. The "left and right hand," c., occurred only once actually ( :-), and here optatively. Only at His first manifestation did the Church palpably embrace Him at His second coming there shall be again sensible communion with Him. The rest in :-, which is a spiritual realization of the wish in :- (1 Peter 1:8), and the charge not to disturb it, close the first, second, and fourth canticles; not the third, as the bridegroom there takes charge Himself; nor the fifth, as, if repose formed its... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 8:1-4

A Dialogue. Her Loveliness10-13. A dialogue between these ladies and her. They compare her to the dawn, stooping down to look on the earth from the sky. It is still common in Arabic poems to address the beloved as 'Moon,' or 'Full moon'!11, 12. She tells of her visit to the nut-garden, where, ere she was aware of it, her soul, i.e. her desire, set her in the chariots of Ammi-nadib. The precise meaning of this expression cannot be determined. The general sense appears to be that she was sunk in... read more

The First and Greatest Commandment Song of Solomon 8:3 I. See how every power of the mind is embraced by, and concerned in, this love: how the head and the heart, knowledge and feeling, the understanding and the will, are all swallowed up by it. And yet, the very text tells us which is of more value in the Lord's sight. Just as the Seraphim, that are on fire with love, hold a more exalted estate than the Cherubim, that are perfect in knowledge so here 'His left hand should be under my head,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 8:1-14

MYSTICAL INTERPRETATIONSTHUS far we have been considering the bare, literal sense of the text. It cannot be denied that, if only to lead up to the metaphorical significance of the words employed, those words must be approached through their primary physical meanings. This is essential even to the understanding of pure allegory such as that of "The Faerie Queene" and "The Pilgrim’s Progress"; we must understand the adventures of the Red Cross Knight and the course of Christian’s journey before... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Song of Solomon 8:1-14

CHAPTER 8 The last chapter of the Song is a review of the whole. There is unquestionably a recapitulation of the entire book. The bride’s desires are once more given to be loved and caressed by Him. For the last time we have the charge to the daughters of Jerusalem and once more the coming is announced. “Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness leaning upon her Beloved?” She returns with Him. The Beloved is mentioned seven times in the book. There is the voice of the Beloved (Song of... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 8:1-14

Acts 4:0 , SCENE 1 This subsection corresponds to the afternoon of the fourth day, and carries us through chapter 6. The occasion looks like a formal visit of the bridegroom, with his courtiers, to the bride and her maids of honor. The place is a room in her future palace. Solomon begins his praises (Song of Solomon 6:4-12 ), when the bride rises to retire, but the courtiers beg her to remain (Song of Solomon 6:13 ). The ladies inquire, “What will ye see in the Shulamite?” or “Why do ye desire... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Song of Solomon 8:1-14

Christ and His Church Song of Solomon 5-8 The Song has a double action: sometimes the Church praises Christ, and sometimes Christ praises the Church. The most noticeable feature is that the praise on both sides is equal. Not one word does the Church say of Christ that Christ does not in his turn say of the Church. So there is no idolatry in Christian worship when that worship is directed to God the Son. God the Son does not take from the Church all praise and honour without returning to his... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Song of Solomon 8:3-4

His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me. (4) I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please. These have been already noticed, therefore I refer to them. Song of Solomon 3:5; Song of Solomon 3:5 . read more
