Song of Solomon 4:2 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep Numerous, and placed in due order: that are even and shorn Smooth and even, as also clean and white. Whereof every one bears twins Which seems to denote the two rows of teeth: and none is barren among them Not one tooth is lacking. Thy speech is comely Which is added as another ingredient of an amiable person; and to explain the foregoing metaphor. The discourse of believers is edifying and comfortable, and acceptable to God, and to serious men. Thy temples Under which he comprehends the cheeks; are like a piece of pomegranate In which there is a lovely mixture of red and white.

Song of Solomon 4:2-3

2 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.

3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
