Song of Songs 4:5
_ _ breasts — The bust is left open in Eastern dress. The breastplate of the high priest was made of “two” pieces, folded one on the other, in which were the Urim and Thummim (lights and perfection). “Faith and love” are the double breastplate (1 Thessalonians 5:8), answering to “hearing the word” and “keeping it,” in a similar connection with breasts (Luke 12:27, Luke 12:28).
_ _ roes — He reciprocates her praise (Song of Songs 2:9). Emblem of love and satisfaction (Proverbs 5:19).
_ _ feed — (Psalms 23:2).
_ _ among the lilies — shrinking from thorns of strife, worldliness, and ungodliness (2 Samuel 23:6; Matthew 13:7). Roes feed among, not on the lilies: where these grow, there is moisture producing green pasturage. The lilies represent her white dress (Psalms 45:14; Revelation 19:8). |
