7 Like a piece of pomegranate Are your temples behind your veil.

Song of Solomon 6:7 Meaning and Commentary

Song of Solomon 6:7

As a piece of a pomegranate [are] thy temples within thy
locks.
] The same descriptions are given in ( Song of Solomon 4:3 ) ; (See Gill on Song of Solomon 4:3); and these are repeated, to show the reality of the church's beauty, and for the sake of confirmation; and that it still continued the same, notwithstanding her failings and infirmities; and that Christ had the same esteem of her, and love to her, he ever had. That part of the description, respecting the church's lips and speech, in ( Song of Solomon 4:3 ) ; is here omitted, though added at the end of ( Song of Solomon 6:6 ) ; by the Septuagint; but is not in the Hebrew copies, nor taken notice of in the Targum; yea, the Masorah, on ( Song of Solomon 4:2 ) , remarks some words as only used in that place, and therefore could not be repeated here in the copies then in use.

Song of Solomon 6:7 In-Context

5 Turn your eyes away from me, For they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats Going down from Gilead.

6 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep Which have come up from the washing; Every one bears twins, And none is barren among them.

7 Like a piece of pomegranate Are your temples behind your veil.

8 There are sixty queens And eighty concubines, And virgins without number.

9 My dove, my perfect 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.
