Song of Solomon 8:3 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.

Left hand ... under my head ... right hand should embrace me - (cf. as to Israel, Deuteronomy 32:27.) The 'left and right hand,' etc., occurred only once actually (Song of Solomon 2:6), and here optatively. Only at His first manifestation did the Church palpably embrace Him: at His second coming there shall be again sensible communion with Him.

3 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
