Song of Solomon 4:9

Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.

Sister ... spouse - this title is here first used, as he is soon about to institute the Supper, the pledge of the nuptial union. By the term "sister," carnal ideas are excluded; the ardour of a spouse's love is combined with the purity of a sister's ().

One of thine eyes - even one look is enough to secure His love (; Luke 23:40). Not merely the Church collectively, but each one member of it () is precious to His heart.

Chain - necklace, answering to the "shields" hanging in the tower of David (). Compare the "ornament" (); "chains" (; ).
