Song of Songs 7:5
_ _ upon thee — the headdress “upon” her.
_ _ Carmel — signifying a well-cultivated field (Isaiah 35:2). In Song of Songs 5:15 He is compared to majestic Lebanon; she here, to fruitful Carmel. Her headdress, or crown (2 Timothy 4:8; 1 Peter 5:4). Also the souls won by her (1 Thessalonians 2:19, 1 Thessalonians 2:20), a token of her fruitfulness.
_ _ purple — royalty (Revelation 1:6). As applied to hair, it expresses the glossy splendor of black hair (literally, “pendulous hair”) so much admired in the East (Song of Songs 4:1). While the King compares her hair to the flowering hair of goats (the token of her subjection), the daughters of Jerusalem compare it to royal purple.
_ _ galleries — (so Song of Songs 1:17, Margin; Revelation 21:3). But Maurer translates here, “flowing ringlets”; with these, as with “thongs” (so Lee, from the Arabic translates it) “the King is held” bound (Song of Songs 6:5; Proverbs 6:25). Her purple crowns of martyrdom especially captivated the King, appearing from His galleries (Acts 7:55, Acts 7:56). As Samson’s strength was in his locks (Judges 16:17). Here first the daughters see the King themselves. |
Song of Songs 7:5
Carmel — Eminent and pleasant to the eye, and fruitful as mount Carmel was. Which may denote that her mind was replenished with knowledge, and other excellent gifts of the Holy Ghost. Purple — Which colour was anciently much esteemed. Is held — In which he walks, and having once espied thee, is unable to take off his eyes from thee. |
Song of Songs 7:5
