Song of Solomon 6:5 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Overcome. — Marg., puffed up; Heb. hirîbunî, from the verb rahab, a word whose root-idea seems to be to show spirit against oppression or prejudice. (See Isaiah 3:5; Proverbs 6:3.) The Hiphil therefore = make me spirited, or bold. (Comp. Psalms 138:3.) The LXX. and Vulg., however, followed by many moderns, take it in the sense of scare or dazzle.

For the rest of the description, see Note, Song of Solomon 4:1, seqq.

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.
