Song of Solomon 6:5 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Turn away thine eyes from me It is a poetical expression, signifying how beautiful the church was in Christ's eyes. Thy hair, &c. This clause and the whole following verse are repeated from Song of Solomon 4:1-2. And this repetition is not vain, but confirms what was said before, that the church's miscarriage had not alienated Christ's affection from her.

Song of Solomon 6:5

5 Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcomea me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
