Hohelied 8:8-14

Listen to Hohelied 8:8-14
8 Wir haben eine Schwester, eine kleine, die noch keine Brüste hat; was sollen wir mit unserer Schwester tun an dem Tage, da man um sie werben wird?
9 Wenn sie eine Mauer ist, so wollen wir eine Zinne von Silber darauf bauen; und wenn sie eine Tür ist, so wollen wir sie mit einem Zedernbrett verschließen.
10 Ich bin eine Mauer, und meine Brüste sind wie Türme; da wurde ich in seinen Augen wie eine, die Frieden findet.
11 Salomo hatte einen Weinberg zu Baal-Hamon; er übergab den Weinberg den Hütern: ein jeder sollte für seine Frucht tausend Silbersekel bringen.
12 Mein eigener Weinberg ist vor mir; die tausend sind dein, Salomo, und zweihundert seien den Hütern seiner Frucht.
13 Bewohnerin der Gärten, die Genossen horchen auf deine Stimme; laß sie mich hören!
14 Enteile, mein Geliebter, und sei gleich einer Gazelle oder einem Jungen der Hirsche auf den duftenden Bergen!

Hohelied 8:8-14 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SONG OF SOLOMON 8

This chapter begins with an ardent wish of the church for a free and intimate converse with Christ; declaring what she would do to him, and for him, should she have such an interview with him, So 8:1,2; what familiarity should be between them, So 8:3; charging the daughters of Jerusalem not to give him any disturbance, So 8:4. Upon which they inquire who she was that was in such a posture they saw her in, So 8:5; when the church, instead of giving them an answer, says some things concerning her beloved, on whom they saw her leaning; and makes some requests to him for more nearness to him, and manifestations of his love to her; urged from the strength her love and affections to him, which was invincible, So 8:6,7. Next follows a speech of the church about her little sister; expressing a concern for her, and what she would do to her and with her, So 8:8,9; and the answer of the little sister, declaring what she, was, and what she enjoyed, So 8:10; then the words of the church again, concerning her husband's vineyard; the place, keepers, and profit of it, So 8:11,12. And the chapter, and with it the Song, is concluded with a request of Christ to the church, that he might hear her voice, So 8:13; and with a petition of hers to him, that he would come quickly to her, So 8:14.
