Song of Solomon 8:1
Compare all
1 Oh, that you were like my brother,
Who nursed at my mother’s breasts!
If I should find you outside,
I would kiss you;
I would not be despised.
2 I would lead you and bring you
Into the ahouse of my mother,
She who used to instruct me.
I would cause you to drink of bspiced wine,
Of the juice of my pomegranate. 

(To the Daughters of Jerusalem)

3 aHis left hand is under my head,
And his right hand embraces me.

Song of Solomon 8:1

O that thou wert as my brother - The bride, fearing that her fondness for her spouse might be construed into too great a familiarity, wishes that he were her little brother; and then she might treat him in the most affectionate manner, and kiss him even in the streets without suspicion, and without giving offense to any one.
