Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Song of Songs 3:10

_ _ pillars — supporting the canopy at the four corners; curtains at the side protect the person within from the sun. Pillars with silver sockets supported the veil that enclosed the holy of holies; emblem of Jesus Christ’s strength (1 Kings 7:21), Margin, “silver,” emblem of His purity (Psalms 12:6); so the saints hereafter (Revelation 3:12).

_ _ bottom — rather, “the back for resting or reclining on” (Vulgate and Septuagint) [Maurer]. So the floor and mercy seat, the resting-place of God (Psalms 132:14) in the temple, was gold (1 Kings 6:30).

_ _ covering — rather, “seat,” as in Leviticus 15:9. Hereafter the saints shall share His seat (Revelation 3:21).

_ _ purple — the veil of the holiest, partly purple, and the purple robe put on Jesus Christ, accord with English Version,covering.” “Purple” (including scarlet and crimson) is the emblem of royalty, and of His blood; typified by the Passover lamb’s blood, and the wine when the twelve sat or reclined at the Lord’s table.

_ _ paved — translated, like mosaic pavement, with the various acts and promises of love of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (Zephaniah 3:17; 1 John 4:8, 1 John 4:16), in contrast with the tables of stone in the “midst” of the ark, covered with writings of stern command (compare John 19:13); this is all grace and love to believers, who answer to “the daughters of Jerusalem” (John 1:17). The exterior silver and gold, cedar, purple, and guards, may deter, but when the bride enters within, she rests on a pavement of love.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Song of Songs 3:10

He made — There is no necessity that either this or the following particulars should be distinctly applied to several things in the gospel; this in the general may suffice, that as all the particulars are added to shew the perfection and beauty of the chariot, so they do imply that Christ's word is every way amiable and perfect. The bottom — The under and lower part. Whereby he may seem to understand the foundation of the word and promises, which is either God's covenant, or Christ's mediation, in whom all the promises are yea and amen. Covering — The uppermost part of it. Midst — The inward parts. Paved — Covered and adorned. Love — The love of Christ to the sons of men. For the daughters — For their delight and comfort, who all bear a part in this marriage.
