A palm is a very good emblem of the church. It is upright, it is evergreen, its branches are symbolic of victory. The breasts give consolation, the clusters of grapes comfort. Apples should be apricots, probably means thy breath is like the perfume of apricots. We must reach upward, always striving to attain higher. The roof of the mouth enables us to speak. As the best wine causes even those asleep to speak with pleasure, so the voice of the bride often arouses the sleeping to a sense of duty.
The Bride’s reply may be explained thus, “He is mine, I am his bride and his desire, for me he died” (Galatians 2:20). It is the language of certainty.
