Praise of the Shulamite’s Beauty
The Beloved
For they have1 overcome me.
Your hair is alike a flock of goats
Going down from Gilead.
Which have come up from the washing;
Every one bears twins,
And none is1 barren among them.

Song of Solomon 6:5
Turn away - It is a poetical expression, signifying how beautiful the church was in Christ's eyes. Thy hair - This clause, and the whole following verse are repeated from, Song of Solomon 4:1-2. And this repetition is not vain but confirms what was said before, that the churches miscarriage had not alienated Christ's affection from her.
