Song of Songs 4:3
_ _ thread — like a delicate fillet. Not thick and white as the leper’s lips (type of sin), which were therefore to be “covered,” as “unclean” (Leviticus 13:45).
_ _ scarlet — The blood of Jesus Christ (Isaiah 6:5-9) cleanses the leprosy, and unseals the lips (Isaiah 57:19; Hosea 14:2; Hebrews 13:15). Rahab’s scarlet thread was a type of it (Joshua 2:18).
_ _ speech — not a separate feature from the lips (Zephaniah 3:9; Colossians 4:6). Contrast “uncircumcised lips” (Exodus 6:12). Maurer and Burrowes translate, “thy mouth.”
_ _ temples — rather, the upper part of the cheek next the temples: the seat of shamefacedness; so, “within thy locks,” no display (1 Corinthians 11:5, 1 Corinthians 11:6, 1 Corinthians 11:15). Mark of true penitence (Ezra 9:6; Ezekiel 16:63). Contrast Jeremiah 3:3; Ezekiel 3:7.
_ _ pomegranate — When cut, it displays in rows seeds pellucid, like crystal, tinged with red. Her modesty is not on the surface, but within, which Jesus Christ can see into. |
Song of Songs 4:3
Thy speech — Which is added as another ingredient of an amiable person; and to explain the foregoing metaphor. The discourse of believers is edifying and comfortable, and acceptable to God, and to serious men. Temples — Under which he comprehends the cheeks. Pomegranate — In which there is a lovely mixture of red and white. |
