Barnes' Notes

<< Song of Solomon 7:4

Song of Solomon 7:6 >>

Song of Solomon 7:5

Compare and contrast with Song of Songs 5:15. The rendering in the margin takes "Carmel" as the name of a color, equivalent to "carmine" (rendered "crimson" in II Chronicles 2:7, II Chronicles 2:14; II Chronicles 3:14). This interpretation is favored by the parallelism with "purple," but removes a beautiful image.

Purple - A deep violet black.

The king ... - Rather, "A king is bound in the tresses or windings of thy hair." These last words indicate the king' s approach.
