Song of Solomon 4:16b
Song of Solomon 4:16b
Latter part Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
The north-wind being awaked, and the south-wind having blown upon Christ's garden, the church, according to his order, the spices did flow out; her graces were stirred up, and begin now to exercise themselves; which causes her, before he had well done speaking, and made a stop, to break forth in these words, and earnestly desire his presence and company in his garden; so that in this one verse we have both Christ and his church speaking. In these words are to be considered,
I. A title or character she gives him; "my beloved."
II. A request or invitation she makes him; to "come into his garden."
