Song of Solomon 7

Solomon 7:1-13 .

1. thy feet--rather, "thy goings" ( Psalms 17:5 ). Evident allusion to Isaiah 52:7 : "How beautiful . . . are the feet of him . . . that publisheth peace" (Shulamite, Solomon 6:13 ).
shoes--Sandals are richly jewelled in the East ( Luke 15:22 , Ephesians 6:15 ). She is evidently "on the mountains," whither she was wafted ( Solomon 6:12 ), above the daughters of Jerusalem, who therefore portray her feet first.
daughter--of God the Father, with whom Jesus Christ is one ( Matthew 5:9 ), "children of (the) God" (of peace), equivalent to Shulamite ( Psalms 45:10-15 2 Corinthians 6:18 ), as well as bride of Jesus Christ.
prince's--therefore princely herself, freely giving the word of life to others, not sparing her "feet," as in Solomon 5:3 , Exodus 12:11 . To act on the offensive is defensive to ourselves.
joints--rather, "the rounding"; the full graceful curve of the hips in the female figure; like the rounding of a necklace (as the Hebrew for "jewels" means). Compare with the English Version, Ephesians 4:13-16 Colossians 2:19 . Or, applying it to the girdle binding together the robes round the hips ( Ephesians 6:14 ).
cunning workman--( Psalms 139:14-16 , Ephesians 2:10 , Ephesians 22:5:29 Ephesians 22:30 Ephesians 22:32 ).

2. navel--rather, "girdle-clasp," called from the part of the person underneath. The "shoes" ( Solomon 7:1 ) prove that dress is throughout presupposed on all parts where it is usually worn. She is "a bride adorned for her husband"; the "uncomely parts," being most adorned ( 1 Corinthians 12:23 ). The girdle-clasp was adorned with red rubies resembling the "round goblet" (crater or mixer) of spice--mixed wine (not "liquor," Solomon 8:2 , Isaiah 5:22 ). The wine of the "New Testament in His blood" ( Luke 22:20 ). The spiritual exhilaration by it was mistaken for that caused by new wine ( Acts 2:13-17 , Ephesians 5:18 ).
belly--that is, the vesture on it. As in Psalms 45:13 Psalms 45:14 , gold and needlework compose the bride's attire, so golden-colored "wheat" and white "lilies" here. The ripe grain, in token of harvest joy, used to be decorated with lilies; so the accumulated spiritual food ( John 6:35 , 12:24 ), free from chaff, not fenced with thorns, but made attractive by lilies ("believers," Solomon 2:2 , Acts 2:46 Acts 2:47 , Acts 5:13 Acts 5:14 , in common partaking of it). Associated with the exhilarating wine cup ( Zechariah 9:17 ), as here.

3. The daughters of Jerusalem describe her in the same terms as Jesus Christ in Solomon 4:5 . The testimonies of heaven and earth coincide.
twins--faith and love.
