As a fruitful vine; like the vine for fruitfulness; or like that sort of vines known by this name for its eminent fruitfulness, as some trees amongst us are for the same reason called the great bearers. By the sides of thine house, where the vines are commonly planted for support and other advantages; which being applied to the wife, may signify either,
1. The wife's duty to abide at home, Titus 2:5, as the harlot is deciphered by her gadding abroad, Proverbs 7:11,12. Or rather,
2. The legitimateness of the children, which are begotten at home by the husband, and not abroad by strangers. Like olive plants, numerous, growing and flourishing, good both for ornament and manifold uses, as olive trees are. Round about thy table; where they shall sit at meat with thee, for thy comfort and safety.
