A bundle of myrrh is my wellbeloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
Bundle of myrrh - implying abundant preciousness. So the Greek for "precious" х timee (G5092)], literally, preciousness, 1 Peter 2:7. Even a little myrrh was costly, much more a bundle. Sanctius takes it of a scent-box filled with liquid myrrh; the liquid obtained by incision gave the tree its chief value.
He - rather, it: it is the myrrh that lies in the bosom, as the cluster of camphire is in the vineyards (Song of Solomon 1:14). All night - an undivided heart (Ephesians 3:17: contrast Jeremiah 4:14; Ezekiel 16:15; Ezekiel 16:30). Yet, on account of the everlasting covenant, God restores the adulteress, (Ezekiel 16:60; Ezekiel 16:62; Hosea 2:2, etc.) The "night" is the whole present dispensation until the everlasting day dawns (Romans 13:12). Also, literally, night (Psalms 119:147); the night of affliction (Psalms 42:8).
