Song of Solomon 7:7 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.

Palm tree - (Psalms 92:12) The sure sign of water near (John 7:38).

Clusters - not of dates, as Moody Stuart thinks. The parallelism (Song of Solomon 7:8), "clusters of the vine," shows it is here clusters of grapes, as the English version. Vines were often trained (termed 'wedded') on other trees.
