📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Song of Solomon 4 is the bridegroom's song of praise for his bride, celebrating her beauty with a cascade of images—doves' eyes, hair like goats on Mount Gilead, teeth like shorn sheep, lips like scarlet thread, and a neck like the tower of David hung with a thousand bucklers. He describes her as a garden enclosed and a locked fountain, whose plants are an orchard of pomegranates with pleasant fruits, spikenard, saffron, calamus, cinnamon, frankincense, myrrh, and aloes. The chapter closes with the bride inviting the north and south winds to blow on her garden so its spices flow out, and calling her beloved to come into his garden and eat his pleasant fruits.
