What does Song of Solomon 4:7 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

7. Assurance that He is going from her in love, not in displeasure (Joh 16:6, 7). all fair--still stronger than So 1:15; So 4:1. no spot--our privilege (Ep 5:27; Col 2:10); our duty (2Co 6:17; Jude 23; Jas 1:27).

Adam Clarke's Commentary

Verse 7 Thou art all fair - there is no spot in thee - "My beloved, every part of thee is beautiful; thou hast not a single defect." The description given of the beauties of Daphne, by Ovid, Metam. lib. 1: ver. 497, has some similarity to the above verses: - Spectat inornatos collo pend ere capillos. Et, quid si comantur? ait. Videt igne micantes Sideribus similes oculos; videt oscula, quae non Est vidisse satis. Laudat digitosque, manusque, Brachiaque, et nudos media plus parte lacertos. Si qua latent meliora putat. Her well-turn'd neck he view'd, (her neck was bare), And on her shoulders her disheveled hair. O, were it comb'd, said he, with what a grace Would every waving curl become her face! He view'd her eyes, like heavenly lamps that shone, He view'd her lips, too sweet to view alone; Her taper fingers, and her panting breast. He praises all he sees; and, for the rest, Believes the beauties yet unseen the best. Dryden. Jayadeva describes the beauty of Radha in nearly the same imagery: "Thy lips, O thou most beautiful among women, are a bandhujiva flower; the lustre of the madhuca beams upon thy cheek; thine eye outshines the blue lotos; thy nose is a bud of the tila; the cunda blossom yields to thy teeth. Surely thou descendedst from heaven, O slender damsel! attended by a company of youthful goddesses; and all their beauties are collected in thee." See these poems, and the short notes at the end. The same poet has a parallel thought to that in Sol 4:5, "Thy two breasts," etc. The companions of Radha thus address her: "Ask those two round hillocks which receive pure dew drops from the garland playing on thy neck, and the buds on whose tops start aloft with the thought of thy beloved."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Song of Solomon 4:1-7

Christ sets forth the graces of the church. (Song 4:1-7) Christ's love to the church. (Song 4:8-15) The church desires further influences of Divine grace. (Song 4:16) Verses 1-7 If each of these comparisons has a meaning applicable to the graces of the church, or of the faithful Christian, they are not clearly known; and great mistakes are made by fanciful guesses. The mountain of myrrh appears to mean the mountain…
