Song of Solomon 7 - Introduction

INTRODUCTION TO SONG OF SOLOMON 7

In this chapter Christ gives a fresh commendation of the beauty of his church, in a different order and method than before; beginning with her "feet", and so rising upwards to the "hair" of her head, and the roof of her mouth, Song of Solomon 7:1; And then the church asserts her interest in him, and his desire towards her, Song of Solomon 7:10; and invites him to go with her into the fields, villages, and vineyards, and offers various reasons, by which she urges him to comply with her invitation, Song of Solomon 7:11.
