Song of Solomon 1:14
Song of Solomon 1:14
My beloved is unto me at a cluster of camphor, in the vineyards of Engedi.
The church having had such sweet communion with Christ at his table, verse 12, which excited and drew forth her grace into exercise, enters into a commendation of him, verse 13, and finding so much sweetness in him, she scarcely knew what was excellent enough to compare him to, that thereby she might express his excellency, in himself, his usefulness to her, and that delight and pleasure which she took in him; having declared that he was "a bundle of myrrh" to her, which she desired might always have a place in her bosom, she does, in these words, compare him to "a cluster of camphor."
I. She gives him the same title or character as before; "my beloved."
II. Says that he was, to her, "as a cluster of camphor in the vineyards of Engedi."
