Cantar de los cantares 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.

porque me dominan.
Tu cabello cae en ondas,
como un rebaño de cabras que serpentea por las laderas de Galaad.

6 Tus dientes son blancos como ovejas
recién bañadas.
Tu sonrisa es perfecta,
cada diente hace juego con su par.

7 Tus mejillas son como granadas de color rosado
detrás de tu velo.

8 Aun entre sesenta reinas
y ochenta concubinas
e incontables doncellas,

9 yo todavía elegiría a mi paloma, a mi mujer perfecta,
la favorita de su madre,
muy amada por quien la dio a luz.
Las jóvenes la ven y la alaban;
hasta las reinas y las concubinas del palacio le entonan alabanzas:
