Thou hast dove's eyes—The Heavenly wisdom.
Thy hair—Woman's hair was given her for a covering, and it is her glory. The righteousness of Christ is the Bride's covering, and it is her glory.
Is as a flock of goats—Thick, luxuriant.
That appear from Mt. Gilead—The flocks of goats on Mt. Gilead are of unusual size to this day.
4:2. Thy teeth—Masticators, grinders, assimilators of spiritual food.
Are like a flock—In glistening array.
That are even shorn—When the lips are parted.
Which come up from the washing—Cleansing by salivation.
Whereof every one bear twine—Whereof they come forth in pairs.
And none is barren—None is without its mate.
