Commentary
Gill's Exposition
How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse!.... Of these titles; see Gill on Sol 4:8 ; See Gill on Sol 4:9 ; and of the love of the church to Christ; see Gill on Sol 1:3 ; here said to be "fair", lovely and delightful, grateful and acceptable; as it is to Christ, in the
several acts and effects of it, and therefore the word is plural, "thy loves" (r); being exceeding beautiful in his eye, and extremely well pleasing to him; therefore says, "how fair!" as admiring it, it being hard to say how fair it was; and this appears from the large manifestations of Christ's love to those that love him; and from his causing all things to work together for the good of such; and from his preparing and laying up things, unseen and unheard of, for them; how much better is thy love than wine! which is saying the same thing of her love to him she says of his to her, Sol 1:2 ; her love to Christ is more pleasant, more cheering, and more acceptable to him, than the wine of legal sacrifices, or than all burnt offerings; or than any duty whatever, unless that is the principle from whence it flows, Mar 12:33 ; and the smell of thine ointments than all spices! the same with Christ's ointments, commended Sol 1:3 ; namely, the graces of the Spirit, which are in Christ without measure, and from him communicated to his people; and when exercised by them, are very delightful to him, and preferred by him to "all spices": even to all those used in the holy anointing oil, typical of them, Exo 30:23 . (r) "amores tui", Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
