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.
6:6. Thy teeth—Masticators, grinders, assimilators of spiritual food.
Are as a flock—In glistening array.
Which go up from the washing—Cleansing by salivation.
Whereof every one bear twins—They come forth in pairs.
And there is not one barren—None is without its mate.
Among them—The teeth are perfect in form and number, illustrating the Bride's ability to feed upon the strong meat which “belongeth to them that are of full age.”
6:7. As a piece of pomegranate—The pomegranate curiously combines the flavors of all fruits. It thus well illustrates the New Mind, which, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, brings to perfection the fruitage of love, the sum of all the Christian graces.
Are thy temples—Thy mind, the mind of the New Creature.
