Hohelied 5:9-16

Listen to Hohelied 5:9-16
9 Was ist dein Freund vor andern Freunden, o du schönste unter den Weibern? Was ist dein Freund vor andern Freunden, daß du uns so beschworen hast?
10 Mein Freund ist weiß und rot, auserkoren unter vielen Tausenden.
11 Sein Haupt ist das feinste Gold. Seine Locken sind kraus, schwarz wie ein Rabe. {~}
12 Seine Augen sind wie Augen der Tauben an den Wasserbächen, mit Milch gewaschen und stehen in Fülle.
13 Seine Backen sind wie Würzgärtlein, da Balsamkräuter wachsen. Seine Lippen sind wie Rosen, die von fließender Myrrhe triefen. {~} {~}
14 Seine Hände sind wie goldene Ringe, voll Türkise. Sein Leib ist wie reines Elfenbein, mit Saphiren geschmückt.
15 Seine Beine sind wie Marmelsäulen, gegründet auf goldenen Füßen. Seine Gestalt ist wie Libanon, auserwählt wie Zedern. {~}
16 Seine Kehle ist süß, und er ist ganz lieblich. Ein solcher ist mein Freund; mein Freund ist ein solcher, ihr Töchter Jerusalems!

Hohelied 5:9-16 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SONG OF SOLOMON 5

This chapter begins with Christ's answer to the church's request; in which he informs her, that he was come into his garden, as she desired, and gives an account of what he had done there; and kindly invites his dear friends to feast with him there, So 5:1; Then she relates her case and circumstances, which followed upon this, her sleepy frame, and ungrateful carriage to her beloved; which he resenting, withdrew from her, and this gave her sensible pain, So 5:2-6; what treatment she met with from the watchmen; her charge to the daughters of Jerusalem; and the questions they asked about her beloved, So 5:7-9; which put her upon giving a large description of him, by each of his parts, head, hair So 5:10-15; And the chapter is concluded with a general commendation of him and his loveliness, and a claim of interest in So 5:16.
