Song of Solomon 4:16 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Awake, O north wind, &c. These winds may signify the several dispensations of God's Spirit. Blow upon my garden This verse is spoken by the spouse. And she calls the garden both hers and his, because of that oneness which is between them, Song of Solomon 2:16. That the spices may flow out That my graces may be exercised. Let my beloved come into his garden Let Christ afford his gracious presence to his church; and eat his pleasant fruits And let him delight himself in that service which is given him, both by the religious worship, and by the holy conversation of his people.
