Song of Solomon 6:7
As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.
As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks. The same descriptions are given in Song of Solomon 4:3;
See Gill on "Song of Solomon 4:3"; and these are repeated, to show the reality of the church's beauty, and for the sake of confirmation; and that it still continued the same, notwithstanding her failings and infirmities; and that Christ had the same esteem of her, and love to her, he ever had. That part of the description, respecting the church's lips and speech, in Song of Solomon 4:3; is here omitted, though added at the end of Song of Solomon 6:6; by the Septuagint; but is not in the Hebrew copies, nor taken notice of in the Targum; yea, the Masorah, on Song of Solomon 4:2, remarks some words as only used in that place, and therefore could not be repeated here in the copies then in use.
