Commentary on Song of Solomon 4:12

Theological / Devotional

A garden inclosed. Under the symbolic expression of an enclosed garden King Solomon proposes marriage, and under the same symbol is accepted by the Shulamite maiden (v. 16). No one has ever entered this garden, no one has ever tasted this fountain, the seal of this fountain has never been broken.
