3. Rather, "As regards the savor of thy ointments, it is good" [MAURER]. In Song of Solomon 4:10 ; Song of Solomon 4:11 , the Bridegroom reciprocates the praise of the bride in the same terms. thy name —Christ's character and office as the "Anointed" ( Isaiah 9:6 ; Isaiah 61:1 ), as "the savor of ointments" are the graces that surround His person ( Psalms 45:7 ; Psalms 45:8 ). Ecclesiastes 7:1 , in its fullest sense, applies to Him. The holy anointing oil of the high priest, which it was death for anyone else to make (so Ecclesiastes 7:1- : ), implies the exclusive preciousness of Messiah's name ( Exodus 30:23-28 ; Exodus 30:31-38 ). So Mary brake the box of precious ointment over Him, appropriately ( Mark 14:5 ), the broken box typifying His body, which, when broken, diffused all grace: compounded of various spices, c. ( Colossians 1:19 Colossians 2:9 ); of sweet odor ( Colossians 2:9- : ). poured — ( Isaiah 53:12 ; Romans 5:5 ). therefore —because of the manifestation of God's character in Christ ( 1 John 4:9 ; 1 John 4:19 ). So the penitent woman ( Luke 7:37 ; Luke 7:38 ; Luke 7:47 ). virgins —the pure in heart ( 2 Corinthians 11:2 ; Revelation 14:4 ). The same Hebrew is translated, "thy hidden ones" ( Revelation 14:4- : ). The "ointment" of the Spirit "poured forth" produces the "love of Christ" ( Revelation 14:4- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-4" class="com-number"
