Song of Solomon 4:13 to Song of Solomon 5:1. The Bride as a Garden. The charms of the bride are now described under the figure of the fruits of the garden.
Song of Solomon 4:16 gives the gracious invitation of the bride to the lover, who in such enthusiastic terms has praised her beauty.
Song of Solomon 5:1 declares his ready acceptance and his call to friends to enjoy similar delights,
13 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire,c with spikenard,
14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
