NASB | Song of Solomon 2:2 ¶ "Like a lily among the thorns, So is my darling among the maidens." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Song of Solomon 2:2 ¶ "Like the lily among the thorns, So are you, my darling, among the maidens." |
Bible Question:
What does this verse actually mean? Songs of Solomon chapter two verse three |
Bible Answer: Hi jean7, MacArthur's notes says, "2:3-6 This scene pictures the loving desire of the Shulamite rather than her actual experience." The (b)Bridegroom in verse 2 pays the compliment "Like a lily among the thorns, So is (m)My darling among the maidens." In your verse, 3, the Shulamite bride says in a similar compliment, "Like an apple [appricot, fig] tree among the trees of the forest, So is my (b)Beloved among the young men." You can think of yourself as the bride and Jesus as the Bridegroom; or you can see the Shulamite and Solomon. From the heart, Ray |
