Song of Songs 1:3
_ _ Rather, “As regards the savor of thy ointments, it is good” [Maurer]. In Song of Songs 4:10, Song of Songs 4:11, the Bridegroom reciprocates the praise of the bride in the same terms.
_ _ thy name — Christ’s character and office as the “Anointed” (Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 61:1), as “the savor of ointments” are the graces that surround His person (Psalms 45:7, Psalms 45:8). Ecclesiastes 7:1, in its fullest sense, applies to Him. The holy anointing oil of the high priest, which it was death for anyone else to make (so Acts 4:12), implies the exclusive preciousness of Messiah’s name (Exodus 30:23-28, Exodus 30:31-38). So Mary brake the box of precious ointment over Him, appropriately (Mark 14:5), the broken box typifying His body, which, when broken, diffused all grace: compounded of various spices, etc. (Colossians 1:19; Colossians 2:9); of sweet odor (Ephesians 5:2).
_ _ poured — (Isaiah 53:12; Romans 5:5).
_ _ therefore — because of the manifestation of God’s character in Christ (1 John 4:9, 1 John 4:19). So the penitent woman (Luke 7:37, Luke 7:38, Luke 7:47).
_ _ virgins — the pure in heart (2 Corinthians 11:2; Revelation 14:4). The same Hebrew is translated, “thy hidden ones” (Psalms 83:3). The “ointment” of the Spirit “poured forth” produces the “love of Christ” (Romans 5:5). |
Song of Songs 1:3
Ointments — Because of those excellent gifts and graces of God's Spirit wherewith thou art replenished. Thy name — Thy report, the very mention of thee, and all those things by which thou makest thyself known to men, thy word, particularly thine offers of pardon and salvation to sinners; and all thy works, especially that great work of redemption is most acceptable, and refreshing. The virgins — called the companions of the bride, Psalms 45:14, particular believers, who are called virgins, 2 Corinthians 11:2; Revelation 14:4, who have their senses exercised to perceive this sweetness and fulness of Christ. |
Song of Songs 1:3
Because of the (b) savour of thy good ointments thy name [is as] ointment poured forth, therefore do the (c) virgins love thee.
(b) The feeling of your great benefits.
(c) They that are pure in heart and conversation. |
