Song of Solomon 5:7 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. Took away my veil - They tore it off rudely, to discover who she was. See on Sol 5:2((note). To tear the veil signifies, in Eastern phrase, to deflower or dishonor a woman.
