Song of Solomon 5:11

The Daughters of Jerusalem

9 What is your beloved
More than another beloved,
^aO fairest among women?
What is your beloved
More than another beloved,
That you so¹ charge us?

The Shulamite

10 My beloved is white and ruddy,
¹Chief among ten thousand.

11 His head is like the finest gold;
His locks are wavy,
And black as a raven.

12 ^aHis eyes are like doves
By the rivers of waters,
Washed with milk,
And¹ fitly set.

13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices,
Banks of scented herbs.
His lips are lilies,
Dripping liquid myrrh.

Song of Solomon 5:11

As gold - It shines like gold, by reason of the crown of pure gold upon his head. We need not aim at a distinct application of this and the following particulars, unto some special excellency of Christ, because such things are mere conjectures, and the only design of this description is, to set forth the beauty of Christ under the notion of a most amiable person, in whom there is no defect or blemish, from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet.
