Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Song of Solomon 2:6
COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD
6. The "stay" she prayed for ( Song of Solomon 2:5 ) is granted ( Deuteronomy 33:12 ; Deuteronomy 33:27 ; Psalms 37:24 ; Isaiah 41:16 ). None can pluck from that embrace ( Isaiah 41:16- : ). His hand keeps us from falling ( Matthew 14:30 ; Matthew 14:31 ); to it we may commit ourselves ( Psalms 31:5 ). left hand —the left is the inferior hand, by which the Lord less signally manifests His love, than by the right; the secret hand of ordinary providence, as distinguished from that of manifested grace (the "right"). They really go together, though sometimes they seem divided; here both are felt at once. THEODORET takes the left hand, equivalent to judgment and wrath; the right, equivalent to honor and love. The hand of justice no longer is lifted to smite, but is under the head of the believer to support ( Isaiah 42:21 ); the hand of Jesus Christ pierced by justice for our sin supports us. The charge not to disturb the beloved occurs thrice: but the sentiment here, "His left hand," c., nowhere else fully which accords with the intensity of joy ( Song of Solomon 2:5 ) found nowhere else; in Song of Solomon 8:3 , it is only conditional, " should embrace," not "doth." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-7" class="com-number"
