Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Song of Songs 7:13

_ _ mandrakesHebrew, dudaim, from a root meaning “to love”; love apples, supposed to exhilarate the spirits and excite love. Only here and Genesis 30:14-16. Atropa mandragora of Linnaeus; its leaves like lettuce, but dark green, flowers purple, root forked, fruit of the size of an apple, ruddy and sweet-smelling, gathered in wheat harvest, that is, in May (Mariti, ii. 195).

_ _ gates — the entrance to the kiosk or summer house. Love “lays up” the best of everything for the person beloved (1 Corinthians 10:31; Philippians 3:8; 1 Peter 4:11), thereby really, though unconsciously, laying up for itself (1 Timothy 6:18, 1 Timothy 6:19).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Song of Songs 7:13

Mandrakes — This Hebrew word is used Genesis 30:14-15, and the signification of it is very much doubted and disputed by interpreters. The word here signifies sweet and pleasant flowers, and therefore if it be understood of mandrakes, they were of another sort than ours, as flowers of the same kind in several climates have very different natures and qualities. At our gates — Brought thither by divers persons to congratulate our nuptials. All fruits — Fruits of this year and of the former. Which seems to be meant of the various fruits and operations of the Spirit, and degrees of grace in several believers.
