Song of Solomon 6:10
Compare all
8 There are sixty queens
And eighty concubines,
And avirgins without number. 
9 My dove, my aperfect one,
Is the only one,
The only one of her mother,
The favorite of the one who bore her.
The daughters saw her
And called her blessed,
The queens and the concubines,
And they praised her. 
10 Who is she who looks forth as the morning,
Fair as the moon,
Clear as the sun,
aAwesome as an army with banners? 

The Shulamite

11 I went down to the garden of nuts
To see the verdure of the valley,
aTo see whether the vine had budded
And the pomegranates had bloomed. 
12 Before I was even aware,
My soul had made me
As the chariots of1 my noble people. 

The Beloved and His Friends

13 Return, return, O Shulamite;
Return, return, that we may look upon you!
What would you see in the Shulamite—
As it were, the dance of1 the two camps?

Song of Solomon 6:10

The chorus address the bride here only as the Shulamite, and beg her to perform for their entertainment a sacred dance (see Song of Songs 6:13) of her own country. The bride, after complying with their request, while they sing some stanzas in her praise Song of Songs 7:1-5, and after receiving fresh commendations from the king Song of Songs 7:6-10, invites him to return with her to her mother' s house Cant. 7:11-8:4. Many Jewish allegorists interpret the whole as referring to the times of the second temple, and to the present dispersion of Israel, during which, God continuing to vouchsafe His mercy, Israel prays for final restoration, the coming of Messiah, and the glory of the latter day. Christian interpreters have made similar applications to the now militant Church looking for the Second Advent, or to the ancient synagogue praying for the Incarnation.

As the morning - The glorious beauty of the bride bursts upon them like a second dawn, as she comes forth to meet them at the commencement of another day. Special poetical words are used for "sun" (burning heat) and "moon" (white one). The same terms are applied to sun and moon in Isaiah 24:23; Isaiah 30:26.
