"It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me."
This is the conclusion of my interest in these first 4 verses of chapter 4. I know that the actual text break is at the end of verse 5, but for my purposes of study I have sought to keep verses 1 - 4 for us. IN verse 1, she is aware that she has lost her Beloved; in verse 2, she arises and goes forth to find Him; and verse 3, she is found by the men of the city and ask the needful question. And then we come to verse 4 for our intstruction:
It was but a little that I passed from them - time is of importance in this pursuit of seeking and finding our Lord; The reference is, 'but a little', from the men of the city finding her and her asking if they had seen Him.
Be the first to react on this!
