Cantares 6:1-6

1 ¿DONDE se ha ido tu amado, Oh la más hermosa de todas las mujeres? ¿Adónde se apartó tu amado, Y le buscaremos contigo?

2 Mi amado descendió á su huerto, á las eras de los aromas Para apacentar en los huertos, y para coger los lirios.

3 Yo soy de mi amado, y mi amado es mío: El apacienta entre los lirios.

4 Hermosa eres tú, oh amiga mía, como Tirsa; De desear, como Jerusalem; Imponente como ejércitos en orden.

5 Aparta tus ojos de delante de mí, Porque ellos me vencieron. Tu cabello es como manada de cabras, Que se muestran en Galaad.

6 Tus dientes, como manada de ovejas Que suben del lavadero, Todas con crías mellizas, Y estéril no hay entre ellas.

Cantares 6:1-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO SONG OF SOLOMON 6

The discourse between the church and the daughters of Jerusalem is continued in this chapter: they inquire whither her beloved was gone, in order to seek him with her, So 6:1; she tells them where he was gone, and for what purpose he went thither, and what he was doing there; and claims and asserts her interest in him, So 6:2,3; Then follows a commendation of the church by Christ, who admires her beauty, and describes her by her eyes, hair So 6:4-7; and prefers her to all others; being a singular and choice one to him, and the praise of others, So 6:8-10; and next he gives an account of his going into his garden, and his design in it, and of what happened to him there, So 6:11,12. And the chapter is concluded with a charge to the Shulamite, to turn herself, that she might be looked upon; which occasions a question, to which an answer is returned, So 6:13.
