Song of Songs 2:16
_ _ mine ... his — rather, “is for me ... for Him” (Hosea 3:3), where, as here, there is the assurance of indissoluble union, in spite of temporary absence. Song of Songs 2:17, entreating Him to return, shows that He has gone, perhaps through her want of guarding against the “little sins” (Song of Songs 2:15). The order of the clauses is reversed in Song of Songs 6:3, when she is riper in faith: there she rests more on her being His; here, on His being hers; and no doubt her sense of love to Him is a pledge that she is His (John 14:21, John 14:23; 1 Corinthians 8:3); this is her consolation in His withdrawal now.
_ _ I am his — by creation (Psalms 100:3), by redemption (John 17:10; Romans 14:8; 1 Corinthians 6:19).
_ _ feedeth — as a “roe,” or gazelle (Song of Songs 2:17); instinct is sure to lead him back to his feeding ground, where the lilies abound. So Jesus Christ, though now withdrawn, the bride feels sure will return to His favorite resting-place (Song of Songs 7:10; Psalms 132:14). So hereafter (Revelation 21:3). Psalms 45:1, title, terms his lovely bride’s “lilies” [Hengstenberg] pure and white, though among thorns (Song of Songs 2:2). |
