Song of Solomon 4:1 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thou hast doves’ eyes ... - Thine eyes are doves behind thy veil. So also in Song of Solomon 4:3; Song of Solomon 6:7; Isaiah 47:2, “veil” is better than “locks.”

That appear from ... - Or, “that couch upon Mount Gilead.” The point of comparison seems to be the multitudinousness of the flocks seen browsing on the verdant slopes of the rich pasture-lands Numbers 32:1; Micah 7:14.

Song of Solomon 4:1

1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
