Song of Songs 5:5
_ _ dropped with myrrh — The best proof a bride could give her lover of welcome was to anoint herself (the back of the hands especially, as being the coolest part of the body) profusely with the best perfumes (Exodus 30:23; Esther 2:12; Proverbs 7:17); “sweet-smelling” is in the Hebrew rather, “spontaneously exuding” from the tree, and therefore the best. She designed also to anoint Him, whose “head was filled with the drops of night” (Luke 24:1). The myrrh typifies bitter repentance, the fruit of the Spirit’s unction (2 Corinthians 1:21, 2 Corinthians 1:22).
_ _ handles of the lock — sins which closed the heart against Him. |
Song of Songs 5:5
I rose — I went forth to receive him. Dropped — With oil or ointment made of myrrh, which dropped from the bridegroom's hand upon the door in great abundance, when he put it into the hole of the door, and consequently upon her hands and fingers when she touched the door to open it. By which she signifies, that Christ, though he withdrew himself from her, yet left a sweet savour behind him. The handles — Heb. with myrrh passing or flowing upon the handles of the lock, which place the bridegroom had touched when he attempted to open it. |
