Song of Solomon 5:9
French (La Bible expliquée)
Dis-nous, la belle, La femme fait un portrait du bien-aimé plein de poésie, de la tête aux jambes, en passant par les yeux, les lèvres et les bras. En conclusion, elle revient à la bouche, comme pour souligner la prééminence de la parole. Plus que tout, les paroles amoureuses de son époux ont éveillé son désir (7.10). « Reconnaissable entre dix mille » (v. 10) fait peut-être allusion à David, qui « vaut dix mille soldats » (2 Sam 18.3). Les cèdres (v. 15) peuvent évoquer le temple de Jérusalem, tout recouvert de cèdres du Liban (1 Rois 6.18 Cant 4.11 13). A la question de 6.1, qui sous-entend un éloignement de son aimé, elle réaffirme, avec la formule de l'appartenance (2.16), qu'aucune distance ne pourra la séparer de lui, anticipant les déclarations finales sur l'amour (8.6 s). qu'a-t-il de plus qu'un autre, ton amoureux? Oui, qu'a-t-il de plus qu'un autre pour que tu nous fasses pareille demande?
