The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
Putteth forth - rather, ripens; literally, makes red х chaanªTaah (H2590)]: or else seasons. The unripe figs, which grow in winter, begin to ripen in early spring, and in June are fully matured (Winer).
Vines with the tender grape - rather, 'the vines in flower;' literally, a flower, in apposition with "vines" (Maurer). However, the Hebrew cªmaadar (H5563) here may well be taken with the English version, as referring to the first stage, when the grape is very small and tender, the flower having just fallen. Boser is the grape in a further stage of growth: Hanab, the ripe grape. The vine flowers were so sweet that they were often put, when dried, into new wine to give it flavour. Applicable to the first manifestations of Jesus Christ, "the true Vine," both to the Church, and to individuals: as to Nathanael under the fig tree (John 1:48).
Arise ... - His call, described by the bride, ends as it began (Song of Solomon 2:10): it is a consistent whole; 'love' from first to last.
And come away - from all defilements (Isaiah 52:1-2; 2 Corinthians 6:17-18). "Come," in the close of Revelation 22:17, as at His earlier manifestation (Matthew 11:28).
