Cantares de Salomâo 4:12-16

12 Você é um jardim fechado, minha irmã, minha noiva;você é uma nascente fechada, uma fonte selada.

13 De você brota um pomar de romãscom frutos seletos,com flores de hena e nardo,

14 nardo e açafrão, cálamo e canela,com todas as madeiras aromáticas,mirra e aloés e as mais finas especiarias.

15 Você é^[a] uma fonte de jardim,um poço de águas vivas,que descem do Líbano.

A Amada

16 Acorde, vento norte!Venha, vento sul!Soprem em meu jardim,para que a sua fragrância se espalhe ao seu redor.Que o meu amado entre em seu jardime saboreie os seus deliciosos frutos.

Cantares de Salomâo 4:12-16 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SONG OF SOLOMON 4

In this chapter is contained a large commendation of the church's beauty by Christ; first, more particularly, by an enumeration of several parts, as her eyes, hair, teeth, lips, temples, neck, and breasts, So 4:1-5; and more generally, So 4:7; And having observed where he himself was determined to go, he invites her to go with him; which he enforces, partly from the danger she was exposed unto where she was So 4:6,8; and partly from the comeliness of her person and graces in his esteem; with which he was ravished, and therefore was extremely desirous of her company, So 4:9-11; And then enters into some new descriptions of her; as a garden and orchard, as a spring and fountain, So 4:12-14; all which she makes to be owing to him, So 4:15; And the chapter is closed with an order from Christ to the winds to blow on his garden, and cause the spices of it to flow out; and with an invitation of the church to Christ, to come into his garden, and relax there, So 4:16.
