Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 8:1-4

1-4 The church wishes for the constant intimacy and freedom with the Lord Jesus that a sister has with a brother. That they might be as his brethren, which they are, when by grace they are made partakers of a Divine nature. Christ is become as our Brother; wherever we find him, let us be ready to own our relation to him, and affection for him, and not fear being despised for it. Is there in us an ardent wish to serve Christ more and better? What then have we laid up in store, to show our... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Song of Solomon 8:1-4

See Song of Solomon 5:1 ff for the passage quote with footnotes.Song of Solomon 8:1. O that thou wert as a brother of mine,כְּאָח cannot possibly be taken as a simple vocative (Septuag., Luth.). It rather refers to a relation like that of a brother (“as a brother of mine,” comp. Psalms 35:14) and consequently expresses the wish and that a wish seriously meant and speedily to be realized (vs. Weissb.), that Solomon would come so near to her in every respect, both inwardly and outwardly, that she... read more

She still wants to kiss him and bring him to her mother’s house, but now she also wants to be instructed by him as she lies in his arms. “Oh that you were as my brother, Who sucked the breasts of my mother!

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-Joshua : it is possible that we have a descriptive poem... read more
