Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Song of Solomon 1:16

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

16. Reply of the Bride. She presumes to call Him beloved, because He called her so first. Thou callest me "fair"; if I am so, it is not in myself; it is all from Thee ( Psalms 90:17 ); but Thou art fair in Thyself ( Psalms 90:17- : ). pleasant — ( Psalms 90:17- : ) towards Thy friends ( Psalms 90:17- : ). bed . . . green —the couch of green grass on which the King and His bride sit to "rest at noon." Thus her prayer in Psalms 90:17- : is here granted; a green oasis in the desert, always found near waters in the East ( Psalms 23:2 ; Isaiah 41:17-19 ). The scene is a kiosk, or summer house. Historically, the literal resting of the Babe of Beth-lehem and his parents on the green grass provided for cattle ( Luke 2:7 ; Luke 2:12 ). In this verse there is an incidental allusion, in Song of Solomon 1:15 , to the offering ( Luke 2:24 ). So the "cedar and fir" ceiling refers to the temple ( 1 Kings 5:6-10 ; 1 Kings 6:15-18 ); type of the heavenly temple ( Revelation 21:22 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-17" class="com-number"
