Song of Songs 8:3-4
_ _ The “left and right hand,” etc., occurred only once actually (Song of Songs 2:6), and here optatively. Only at His first manifestation did the Church palpably embrace Him; at His second coming there shall be again sensible communion with Him. The rest in Song of Songs 8:4, which is a spiritual realization of the wish in Song of Songs 8:3 (1 Peter 1:8), and the charge not to disturb it, close the first, second, and fourth canticles; not the third, as the bridegroom there takes charge Himself; nor the fifth, as, if repose formed its close, we might mistake the present state for our rest. The broken, longing close, like that of the whole Bible (Revelation 22:20), reminds us we are to be waiting for a Savior to come. On “daughters of Jerusalem,” see on Song of Songs 7:10. |
