Silver, in biblical times, was often associated with redemption and refinement. The Hebrew word for silver, "keseph," also implies longing or desire, which aligns with the themes of love and yearning in the Song of Solomon. The posts being made of silver suggest a foundation of purity and enduring strength in the relationship being described.<p><b>its base of gold</b><br />Gold represents divinity, value, and kingship throughout Scripture. The Hebrew word "zahab" for gold is often used in contexts of wealth and divine presence. The base being of gold indicates that the foundation of this love is not only pure but also divine and precious. It reflects the ultimate value and eternal nature of true love, as ordained by God.<p><b>its seat of purple</b><br />Purple is a color traditionally associated with royalty and nobility. The Hebrew word "argaman" for purple dye was rare and costly, often reserved for kings and high priests. The seat being of purple suggests a royal dignity and honor in the relationship. It elevates the love described to a status of regal importance, indicating that this love is both noble and majestic.<p><b>its interior inlaid with love</b><br />The phrase "inlaid with love" speaks to the depth and intricacy of the relationship. The Hebrew word "ahavah" for love is rich with meaning, encompassing affection, friendship, and deep emotional bonds. The interior being inlaid with love suggests that the core of this relationship is filled with genuine, heartfelt devotion. It is not merely an external display but an internal reality, crafted with care and intention.<p><b>by the daughters of Jerusalem</b><br />The "daughters of Jerusalem" are often seen as witnesses or participants in the unfolding love story. In the cultural and historical context, they represent the community or society that observes and sometimes facilitates the relationship. Their involvement in inlaying the interior with love suggests a communal recognition and celebration of this love. It highlights the importance of community in nurturing and acknowledging the beauty of a godly relationship.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/songs/3.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(10) <span class= "bld">Bottom.</span>--Heb., <span class= "ital">rephidah = supports. </span>Probably the back of the litter on which the occupant leaned.<p><span class= "bld">The midst thereof </span>. . .--Literally, <span class= "ital">its interior paved love from the daughters of Jerusalem. </span>There are three possible renderings.
