Chapter 678 of 1261

Song of Solomon 6:1

Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among, women? Whither it thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.

The church having answered the former question of the daughters of Jerusalem to their satisfaction, by giving them an ample account of her beloved, what he was; they proceed to another question, and ask, whither he was gone, which we have in this verse. In which may be considered,

I. The title or appellation they give her, or their manner of addressing her, "O thou fairest among women."

II. A question proposed by them to her, which is also repeated; "Whither is thy beloved gone? whither is thy beloved turned aside?"

III. The end of their asking this question "that we may seek him with thee?"
