our house—see on Song of Solomon 1:16; but primarily, the kiosk (Isaiah 11:10), "His rest." Cedar is pleasing to the eye and smell, hard, and never eaten by worms.
fir—rather, "cypress," which is hard, durable, and fragrant, of a reddish hue [GESENIUS, WEISS, and MAURER]. Contrasted with the shifting "tents" (Song of Solomon 1:5), His house is "our house" (Psalms 92:13; Ephesians 2:19; Hebrews 3:6). Perfect oneness of Him and the bride (John 14:20; John 17:21). There is the shelter of a princely roof from the sun (Psalms 121:6), without the confinement of walls, and amidst rural beauties. The carved ceiling represents the wondrous excellencies of His divine nature.
