Song of Songs 5:15
_ _ pillars — strength and steadfastness. Contrast man’s “legs” (Ecclesiastes 12:3). Allusion to the temple (1 Kings 5:8, 1 Kings 5:9; 1 Kings 7:21), the “cedars” of “Lebanon” (Psalms 147:10). Jesus Christ’s “legs” were not broken on the cross, though the thieves’ were; on them rests the weight of our salvation (Psalms 75:3).
_ _ sockets of fine gold — His sandals, answering to the bases of the pillars; “set up from everlasting” (Proverbs 8:22, Proverbs 8:23). From the head (Song of Songs 5:11) to the feet, “of fine gold.” He was tried in the fire and found without alloy.
_ _ countenance — rather, “His aspect,” including both mien and stature (compare 2 Samuel 23:21, Margin; with 1 Chronicles 11:23). From the several parts, she proceeds to the general effect of the whole person of Jesus Christ.
_ _ Lebanon — so called from its white limestone rocks.
_ _ excellent — literally, “choice,” that is, fair and tall as the cedars on Lebanon (Ezekiel 31:3, etc.). Majesty is the prominent thought (Psalms 21:5). Also the cedars’ duration (Hebrews 1:11); greenness (Luke 23:31), and refuge afforded by it (Ezekiel 17:22, Ezekiel 17:23). |
Song of Songs 5:15
Marble — White, and strait, and well shaped and strong. Gold — His feet are compared to gold, for their singular brightness, for which they are compared to fine — brass, Revelation 1:15.

Judges 13:6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance [was] like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he [was], neither told he me his name:
