Song of Solomon
Chapter
5
[S]~~"I
have gathered my myrrh with my spice; {Note: S is saying he is a good lover with lots of experience} [S]~~ "I have drunk my wine with my milk." [DJ]~~ "Eat, O friends; drink yea, drink abundantly, O beloved." {Note: DJ's go for S and want her to want him also -peer pressure} [SW]2~~ "I sleep." {Note: Mentioning myrrh makes SW daydream or sleep and recall an experience with SL and protects her from S's advances} [SW]~~ "But my heart waketh." {idom for a dream}.
[SW
remembering a time when SL came to her window late at
night]~~"The voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, {NOte: It is wet outside and he is dripping standing at the window}
[SW]3~~
"I have put off my robe. [SW]4~~ "My beloved put in his hand in the latch of the window. And my passions were moved for him." {Note: She is turned on by him! But he rattled the window and respected her volition and left!}
[SW]5-6~~
"I rose up to open to my beloved;
[SW]~~
"But my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone! {Note: Initially, she stalled, didn't respond to him . . . so SL had left - so SW goes out into the dangerous night alone and is seen by a policeman who thinks she is a prostitute illegally wearing a veil.}
[SW]7~~
"The watchmen that went about the city found me, {Note: Principal - she suffered because she put off her Right Man!}
[SW
turning to DJ's]8~~ "I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
[DJ]9~~
"What is thy beloved more than another beloved, {Note: The daughters of Jerusalem express their human viewpoint - they think "What is the difference between one attractive man and another -any port in a storm??".}
[DJ]~~"What
is thy beloved more than another beloved,
[SW
describes her right man - in her mind he is different from all other
men]10~~ "My beloved is white and tanned
[SW]11~~
"His head is as the most fine gold,
[SW]12~~
"His eyes are as the eyes of doves
[SW]13~~"
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers".
[SW]~~
"His lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh."
[SW]14~~"His
hands are as gold rings set with the beryl."
[SW]~~
"His body is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires."
[SW]15~~"His
legs are as pillars of marble,
[SW]~~
"His face is as Lebanon,
[SW]16~~"His
mouth is most sweet."
[SW]~~
"Yea, he is altogether lovely. {Note: In reality, she has described a regular man - and he is different only because he is her right man!}
