Song of Songs 6:3 Meaning and Commentary

Song of Solomon 6:3

I [am] my beloved's, and my beloved [is] mine
Expressive of interest in Christ, and union to him, and of her faith therein; which still continued, notwithstanding her unbecoming behavior toward Christ, and her many infirmities, ( Song of Solomon 5:2 Song of Solomon 5:3 ) . Aben Ezra connects the words with the preceding, "my beloved is gone" but though he is, and I am left alone, I know I am his, and he is mine; which throws a beauty upon the words, and declares the excellency and strength of her faith; for herein lies the glory and excellency of faith, to believe in an unseen Christ: though it may be the Shechinah was with her, as the Targum has it; or Christ had now appeared to her, and was found by her, and therefore, like Thomas, says, "my Lord and my God"; he feedeth among the lilies; (See Gill on Song of Solomon 2:16).

Song of Songs 6:3 In-Context

1 My kinsman is gone down to his garden, to the beds of spice, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

2 I am my kinsman's, and my kinsman is mine, who feeds among the lilies.

3 Thou art fair, my companion, as Pleasure, beautiful as Jerusalem, terrible as set in array.

4 Turn away thine eyes from before me, for they have ravished me: thy hair is as flocks of goats which have appeared from Galaad.

5 Thy teeth are as flocks of shorn , that have gone up from the washing, all of them bearing twins, and there is none barren among them: thy lips are as a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely.
