Cantares de Salomâo 6:11-12

A Amada

11 Desci ao bosque das nogueiraspara ver os renovos no vale,para ver se as videiras tinham brotadoe se as romãs estavam em flor.

12 Antes que eu o percebesse,você me colocou entre as carruagens, com um príncipe ao meu lado.^[a]

Cantares de Salomâo 6:11-12 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.
