Commentary on Song of Solomon 7:5
Theological / DevotionalCarmel. A range of hills about 1,800 ft. elevation, forming the southwestern boundary of the plain of Esdraelon and the Bay of Acre.
Galleries. Heb. rehatim. The meaning of the word here is uncertain. In Gen. 30:38, 41 it means “watering troughts.” It may come from a root meaning “to run,” “to flow,” hence “a flowing down.” From this the definition “locks of hair” has been suggested. The king speaks of himself as held in the locks of the Shulamite’s hair.
