Behold thou art fair—Beautiful of heart.
Thou hast dove's eyes—Heavenly wisdom—the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
1:16. Behold Thou art fair—“Fairer than the children of men.” The Bride returns the compliment.
My Beloved—“Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Yea pleasant—The disciplines are as nothing compared to the joy of your fellowship.
Also, our bed—The place of our rest; “let the saints be joyful in glory, let them sing aloud upon their beds.”
Is green—Our rest will be everlasting. “They rest from their labors.”
1:17. The beams of our house—The covering over us; “the Head of Christ is God.”
Are cedar—Immortal.
And our rafters—Wainscoting; the environment on all sides.
