Study 3 From the Book of Song of
Solomon is: Song of Solomon 2:8 – 3:5
1- What purpose
do the various pictures from nature serve in revealing the quality of love?
2- What
characteristics of true love emerge in 2:16, 17 and 3:1-5?
Notes
1- 2:10-12. An
appeal to respond to the approach of love, like nature to the return of summer.
2- 2:15. The
enemies may be small-‘little foxes’ but the mischief done great. If the blossom
is spoiled, there will be no fruit.
3- 2:17. A
picture of evening, not of early morning. The shadows flee away when the sun
that causes them sets. The bride asked
her beloved to wait until the evening, When it came, she ‘sought him but found
him not’ (3:1)
