SONG OF SOLOMON 5
THE BRIDE SEARCHES FOR HER BELOVED AGAIN
The friends encourage the couple to be drunk with love and enjoy each other. Like chapter three, the woman searches for her husband with longing and desire when they are separated.
She describes her husband using similar language that he used to describe her in the previous chapter. Throughout their descriptions, they both make many references that can be reminiscent of both the building of the Tabernacle and the Temple. She describes the man’s body as polished ivory and his legs as alabaster columns set on bases of gold. She also describes the man’s appearance as choice cedar wood, which was used in the construction of the temple. Descriptions of pomegranates and flowers blooming are used to describe the couple and were also details included in the Tabernacle recorded in Exodus 25 to 27.
STUDY QUESTIONS
- In Song of Solomon 5, how does the woman’s description of the man mirror some imagery within the Tabernacle? (see Exodus 25-26).
