Commentary on Song of Solomon 2:9

Theological / Devotional

Roe. In modern English, a gazelle.

Looketh forth at the windows. Literally, “gazing from [the outside of] the windows.” Or the clause may be translated idiomatically, “gazed through the windows.” Solomon is represented as playfully looking through the windows in search of his beloved.
