In the context of the Song of Solomon, this is a poetic and romantic expression of love, often interpreted as an allegory of Christ's love for the Church. The term "altogether beautiful" signifies complete and perfect beauty, suggesting that the bride is without blemish in the eyes of her beloved. This can be connected to <a href="/ephesians/5-27.htm">Ephesians 5:27</a>, where the Church is presented to Christ as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle. The use of "my darling" indicates a personal and intimate relationship, emphasizing the closeness and affection between the two.<p><b>in you there is no flaw.</b><br>This phrase underscores the idea of perfection and purity. In the cultural and historical context of ancient Israel, physical beauty was often seen as a reflection of inner virtue and moral integrity. The absence of flaw suggests a state of wholeness and completeness, which can be seen as a type of the sanctified state of believers in Christ. This mirrors the imagery in <a href="/revelation/21-2.htm">Revelation 21:2</a>, where the New Jerusalem is described as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband, symbolizing the Church's ultimate perfection and purity. Theologically, this can also be seen as a foreshadowing of the believer's future glorified state, where they are made perfect in Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_beloved.htm">The Beloved</a></b><br>The speaker in this verse is often interpreted as Solomon, expressing his admiration and love for his bride.

The sweet humility and modesty of the bride kindles his love afresh. He praised the loveliness of her bodily form, and she by her response showed the exceeding loveliness of her soul. It must not be forgotten that, whether borrowed from this book or not, such language is undoubtedly employed in Scripture of the Church, the bride, the Lamb's wife, who is described as "not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing" (<a href="/ephesians/5-27.htm">Ephesians 5:27</a>). It should be noticed that the king immediately addresses his love as "bride," and "sister-bride," to show that there is more than admiration of her person in his thoughts. She is his by assimilation and by eternal union, and he invites her to enter fully into the new life which he has prepared for her, as in <a href="/psalms/45.htm">Psalm 45</a>, "forgetting her own people, and her father's house." It is not enough that feeling should be stirred, or even that it should take possession of the soul, if it be only feeling; it is required of us that our inner life of emotion should become practical devotedness, "counting all things but loss" for the sake of him we love. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/songs/4-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">You are altogether</span><br /><span class="heb">כֻּלָּ֤ךְ</span> <span class="translit">(kul·lāḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct | second person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> </span><span class="str2">The whole, all, any, every</span><br /><br /><span class="word">beautiful,</span><br /><span class="heb">יָפָה֙</span> <span class="translit">(yā·p̄āh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3303.htm">Strong's 3303: </a> </span><span class="str2">Fair, beautiful</span><br /><br /><span class="word">my darling;</span><br /><span class="heb">רַעְיָתִ֔י</span> <span class="translit">(ra‘·yā·ṯî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7474.htm">Strong's 7474: </a> </span><span class="str2">A female associate</span><br /><br /><span class="word">in</span><br /><span class="heb">בָּֽךְ׃</span> <span class="translit">(bāḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition | second person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> </span><span class="str2"></span><br /><br /><span class="word">you</span><br /><span class="heb">ס</span> <span class="translit">(s)</span><br /><span class="parse">Punctuation<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> </span><span class="str2"></span><br /><br /><span class="word">[there is] no</span><br /><span class="heb">אֵ֥ין</span> <span class="translit">(’ên)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_369.htm">Strong's 369: </a> </span><span class="str2">A non-entity, a negative particle</span><br /><br /><span class="word">flaw.</span><br /><span class="heb">וּמ֖וּם</span> <span class="translit">(ū·mūm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3971.htm">Strong's 3971: </a> </span><span class="str2">To stain, a blemish</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/songs/4-7.htm">Song of Solomon 4:7 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/songs/4-7.htm">Song of Solomon 4:7 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/songs/4-7.htm">Song of Solomon 4:7 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/songs/4-7.htm">Song of Solomon 4:7 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/songs/4-7.htm">Song of Solomon 4:7 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/songs/4-7.htm">Song of Solomon 4:7 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/songs/4-7.htm">Song of Solomon 4:7 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/songs/4-7.htm">Song of Solomon 4:7 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/songs/4-7.htm">Song of Solomon 4:7 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/songs/4-7.htm">Song of Solomon 4:7 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/songs/4-7.htm">OT Poetry: Song of Solomon 4:7 You are all beautiful my love (Song Songs SS So Can)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/songs/4-6.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Song of Solomon 4:6"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Song of Solomon 4:6" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/songs/4-8.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Song of Solomon 4:8"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Song of Solomon 4:8" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
