Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Song of Songs 4:2

_ _ even shorn — the Hebrew is translated (1 Kings 6:25), “of one size”; so the point of comparison to teeth is their symmetry of form; as in “came up from the washing,” the spotless whiteness; and in “twins,” the exact correspondence of the upper and lower teeth: and in “none barren,” none wanting, none without its fellow. Faith is the tooth with which we eat the living bread (John 6:35, John 6:54). Contrast the teeth of sinners (Psalms 57:4; Proverbs 30:14); also their end (Psalms 3:7; Matthew 25:30). Faith leads the flock to the washing (Zechariah 13:1; 1 Corinthians 6:11; Titus 3:5).

_ _ none ... barren — (2 Peter 1:8). He who is begotten of God begets instrumentally other sons of God.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Song of Songs 4:1-7.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Song of Songs 4:2

A flock — Numerous, and placed in due order. Even — Smooth and even, as also clean and white. Twins — Which seems to denote the two rows of teeth. Barren — Not one tooth is lacking.
