• This beautiful feature, the seventh in number, is the emblem, first, of moral development-the formation of the heart for Christ-the affections drawn out to Him; second, of nourishment-the means of growth and blessing to others. The contrast between the spouse and "the little sister," of chapter viii. 8, is marked and instructive. " We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts." It is thought, by some, that the perfect development of the bride, and its absence in "the little sister," represent the moral condition of Judah and Ephraim, or the two tribes and the ten. When the twelve are restored, the difference will be manifest. Nevertheless, the ten tribes will enjoy the blessed results of what has been done. Ephraim, however, will be a stranger to those deep exercises of heart, through which Judah has passed, in connection with the Messiah; and, consequently, to the moral development which these experiences give. (“Song of Solomon 4” by A. Miller)
• In feeding "among the lilies " they now find their delight, where He finds His. "He feedeth among the lilies." The heart is drawn out, and the affections are formed for Christ, through the manifestation of Himself to us, by the Holy Spirit. … (Isa. 66:10-13.) (“Song of Solomon 4” by A. Miller)
• The breasts set forth the affections. The figure of the roe is used in the same connection in Prov. 5:19, to indicate that which is pleasant. The "young" roe sets forth that which is fresh. In the eyes of Christ His people are marked by love that is truly pleasant and that will never grow old. (“Canticle 3: The Communion of Love” by H. Smith)
