Of the wood of Lebanon Of cedars, which wood being incorruptible, doth fitly signify the word of the gospel, which endureth for ever, 1 Peter 1:25.

The bottom thereof of gold The under and lower part. Whereby he may seem to intend the foundation of the word and promises, which is either God's covenant, or Christ's mediation, in whom all the promises are yea and amen. The covering of it The uppermost part of it. The midst The inward parts: being paved Covered and adorned; with love The love of Christ to the sons of men. For the daughters of Jerusalem For their delight and comfort, who all bear a part in this marriage.
