Commentary
Commentary on Song of Solomon 1:14
Theological / DevotionalCluster of camphire. Better, “cluster of henna flowers.” The plant grew in southern Palestine and produced odoriferous yellow and white flowers. The flowers and twigs were sometimes ground into powder, from which the women made a reddish-orange dye to stain their hands and feet.
En-gedi. Literally, “fountain of the kid.” It was a district to the west of the Dead Sea, about midway between the mouth of the Jordan and the southern extremity of the lake. A copious spring known today as ‘Ain Jidi, still flows in the region.
