Cantares de Salomâo 4:1-6

1 Como és formosa, amada minha, eis que és formosa! os teus olhos são como pombas por detrás do teu véu; o teu cabelo é como o rebanho de cabras que descem pelas colinas de Gileade.

2 Os teus dentes são como o rebanho das ovelhas tosquiadas, que sobem do lavadouro, e das quais cada uma tem gêmeos, e nenhuma delas é desfilhada.

3 Os teus lábios são como um fio de escarlate, e a tua boca e formosa; as tuas faces são como as metades de uma roma por detrás do teu véu.

4 O teu pescoço é como a torre de Davi, edificada para sala de armas; no qual pendem mil broquéis, todos escudos de guerreiros valentes.

5 Os teus seios são como dois filhos gêmeos da gazela, que se apascentam entre os lírios.

6 Antes que refresque o dia e fujam as sombras, irei ao monte da mirra e ao outeiro do incenso.

Cantares de Salomâo 4:1-6 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.
