Barnes' Notes on the Bible

La acción principal y central de la canción; la entrada de la novia a la ciudad de David y su matrimonio allí con el rey. Los intérpretes judíos consideran que esta parte del poema simboliza la "primera" entrada de la Iglesia del Antiguo Testamento en la tierra prometida, y sus apostados espirituales y la comunión con el Rey de reyes, a través de la construcción del Templo de Salomón y la institución. de su culto aceptable. Los padres cristianos, en un espíritu similar, hacen que la mayoría de las cosas aquí se refieran a los desposorios de la Iglesia con Cristo en la Pasión y Resurrección, o la comunión de las almas cristianas con Él en la meditación al respecto.

Cantares de los Cantares 3:6

Dos o más ciudadanos de Jerusalén, o el coro de jóvenes, compañeros del novio, describen la magnífica apariencia de la novia en una litera real, y luego la del rey en alegría festiva con una corona nupcial.

Cantares de los Cantares 3:6

"Desierto" es aquí tierra de pastoreo en contraste con los distritos cultivados y recintos de jardines alrededor de la ciudad. Compare Jeremias 23:1; Joel 2:22; Isaías 42:11; Salmo 65:12.

Pilares de humo - Aquí una imagen de placer y placer. El incienso y otros perfumes se queman en tal abundancia alrededor del traje de novia que toda la procesión parece, desde la distancia, ser una corona de flores y columnas de humo en movimiento.

Cantares de los Cantares 3:7

Cantares de los Cantares 3:8

Por miedo a la noche - i. e., Contra alarmas nocturnas. Compare Salmo 91:5.

Cantares de los Cantares 3:9 , Cantares de los Cantares 3:1

Una cama señorial que el rey Salomón hizo para sí mismo de bosques (o árboles) del Líbano. La palabra traducida "cama" no aparece en ninguna otra parte de la Escritura, y es de dudosa etimología y significado. Puede denotar aquí

(1) el auto o la basura de la novia; o

(2) un vehículo más magnífico previsto para su recepción en su entrada a la ciudad, y en el que tal vez el rey sale a su encuentro.

Se hizo bajo las propias instrucciones de Salomón de los bosques más caros (cedro y pino) del Líbano; está amueblado con "pilares de plata" que sostienen un "baldaquino" o "dosel de oro" (no "fondo" como en la versión King James) y con "un asiento (no 'cubriendo') de cojines morados", mientras "Su interior está pavimentado con (trabajo de mosaico o tapiz de) amor de (no 'para') las hijas de Jerusalén;" el significado es que esta parte del adorno es un regalo de amor, mediante el cual el coro femenino ha testificado su buena voluntad hacia la novia y su deseo de gratificar al rey.

Hijas de Sion - Llamadas aquí para distinguirlas de las compañeras de la novia, a quienes ella siempre se dirige como "hijas de Jerusalén".
