아가 7:7-9 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:1-9

The title which Jesus Christ here gives to the church is new: O prince's daughter! agreeing with Ps. 45:13; where she is called the king's daughter. She is so in respect of her new birth, born from above, begotten of God, and his workmanship, bearing the image of the King of kings, and guided by his Spirit. She is so by marriage; Christ, by betrothing her to himself, though he found her mean and despicable, has made her a prince's daughter. She has a princely disposition, something in her... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:7

This thy stature is like to a palm tree ,.... Made up of the above parts commended, and others had in view, as appears from the relative "this". The word for "stature" properly signifies height, tallness, and erectness; and which were reckoned agreeable in women, as well as men; See Gill on 1 Samuel 9:2 ; hence methods are often made use of to make them look taller, as by their head dresses, their shoes, and by stretching out their necks, Isaiah 3:16 ; and the simile of a tree is not an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:8

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 F14 Ibid. So Sandys's Travels, l. 2. p. 79. relates: these steps are made by the lower boughs being lopped off, whose knots, or "pollices", as Dr. Shaw F15 Travels, tom. 1. p. 142. Edit. 2. calls them, being gradually left upon the trunk of the tree, serve, like so many... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:9

And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine ,.... Which may intend, either her taste, as the word is rendered in Song of Solomon 2:3 ; by which she can distinguish good wine from bad, truth from error; or her breath, sweet and of a good smell, like the best wine; the breathings of her soul in prayer, which are sweet odours, perfumed with the incense of Christ's mediation; or rather her speech, the words of her mouth; the roof of the mouth being an instrument of speech; the same word is... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 7:7

Like to a palm tree - Which is remarkably straight, taper, and elegant. And thy breasts to clusters of grapes - Dates are the fruit of the palm tree; they grow in clusters; and it is these, not grapes, which are intended. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 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. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Song of Solomon 7:9

The roof of thy mouth like the best wine - The voice or conversation of the spouse is most probably what is meant. Causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak - As good wine has a tendency to cause the most backward to speak fluently when taken in moderation; so a sight of thee, and hearing the charms of thy conversation, is sufficient to excite the most taciturn to speak, and even to become eloquent in thy praises. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:6-9

( Song of the bridegroom rejoicing over the bride. ) How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. I said, I will climb up into the palm tree, I will take hold of the branches thereof: let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy breath like apples; and thy mouth like the best wine, that goeth down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips of them that are asleep. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:6-13

Dialogue between the king and the bride. I. ENTRANCE OF THE KING . 1 . His praise of love. Perhaps the last words of the chorus were overheard by the king as he approached the bride. He assents; he is content to be held captive in the tresses of the bride's hair; for love is fair and pleasant above all delightful' things. The bridegroom is not here using the word with which he so often addresses the bride (as in So Song of Solomon 1:9 ; Song of Solomon 4:1 ; Song of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Song of Solomon 7:9

The sweetness of speech. The figurative language here employed by the royal lover to eulogize the voice and the utterances of the bride is to our colder and more measured habits of thought Oriental extravagance. Yet it is in harmony with the highly coloured character of the book as a whole. And human speech does often awaken within the heart emotions not easily expressed in cool and justifiable panegyric. The human voice is of all music the sweetest, and speech is sweeter even than song,... read more
