Commentary on Song of Solomon 2:11

Theological / Devotional

The winter is past. Verses 11–13 constitute one of the most beautiful poetic descriptions of springtime ever penned. The spring of the year was the time when the joyful pilgrims made their way to the Passover festival in Jerusalem.

The rain is over. The latter rain ended in the early spring (see Vol. II, p. 109).
