Commentary
Commentary on Song of Solomon 2:17
Theological / DevotionalUntil the day break. Literally, “until the day breathes.” Reference may be either to the dawn of day, when the fresh morning breeze comes up, or to the beginning of evening, when the fresh evening breeze comes up.
Mountains of Bether. No such geographical mountains are known. Perhaps the word here rendered “Bether” should be translated instead. Bether comes from a root meaning “to cut in two,” hence possibly cleft mountains are meant.
