Song of Solomon 4:9 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

My sister, my spouse So he calls her to show the greatness of his love, which could not sufficiently be expressed by any one relation. With one of thine eyes With one glance. One chain of thy neck With one of those other graces and perfections wherewith thou art adorned. How fair is thy love How amiable and acceptable to me. The smell of thine ointments Of the gifts and graces of God's Spirit, wherewith thou art anointed.

Song of Solomon 4:9-10

9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

10 How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
