Song of Solomon 6
1. the church professes her faith in Christ
4. Christ shows the graces of the church
10. and his love toward her














(5) Overcome.--Marg., puffed up; Heb. hiribuni, from the verb rahab, a word whose root-idea seems to be to show spirit against oppression or prejudice. (See Isaiah 3:5; Proverbs 6:3.) The Hiphil therefore = make me spirited, or bold. (Comp. Psalm 138:3.) The LXX. and Vulg., however, followed by many moderns, take it in the sense of scare or dazzle.

For the rest of the description, see Note, Song of Solomon 4:1, seqq.
