This phrase highlights the admiration and beauty of the beloved, emphasizing her noble status. The mention of "sandaled feet" suggests a sense of elegance and readiness, as sandals were a common footwear in ancient Israel, often associated with travel and movement. The reference to "daughter of the prince" indicates a person of high status, possibly alluding to the church as the bride of Christ, who is often depicted as a royal bride in scripture (<a href="/ephesians/5-25.htm">Ephesians 5:25-27</a>). The imagery of beauty and nobility can also be seen in <a href="/psalms/45.htm">Psalm 45</a>, which describes the royal bride adorned in splendor.The curves of your thighs are like jewels, This phrase uses the metaphor of jewels to describe the beloved's thighs, suggesting value, beauty, and craftsmanship. In biblical times, jewels were precious and rare, symbolizing worth and splendor. The comparison to jewels indicates the beloved's physical beauty and the admiration it inspires. This can be seen as a reflection of the church's beauty in the eyes of Christ, as believers are considered precious and valuable (<a href="/1_peter/2-9.htm">1 Peter 2:9</a>). The use of such intimate imagery also underscores the deep love and affection present in the relationship.the handiwork of a master. The phrase "handiwork of a master" implies skillful creation, suggesting that the beloved's beauty is not accidental but crafted with intention and care. This can be seen as a reflection of God's creation, as humanity is described as fearfully and wonderfully made (<a href="/psalms/139-14.htm">Psalm 139:14</a>). The master craftsman imagery can also be connected to the idea of God as the potter and humans as the clay (<a href="/isaiah/64-8.htm">Isaiah 64:8</a>), emphasizing divine craftsmanship and purpose. In a broader sense, this can be seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate master craftsman, shaping and molding the church into His likeness.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_beloved.htm">The Beloved</a> The speaker in this verse is often interpreted as the bridegroom, who is expressing admiration for his bride.

This description of the beauty of the bride--"From the delicate Arab arch of her feetTo the grace that, bright and light as the crestOf a peacock, sits on her shining head"--is plainly connected with the dance mentioned in the last verse, and possibly proceeds in this order, instead of from the head downwards, because the feet of a dancer would first attract attention. See end of Excursus III.O prince's daughter!--Heb. Bath-nadib (the LXX. keep ?????)--evidently again suggested by Amminadib, in <a href="/songs/6-12.htm" title="Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.">Song of Solomon 6:12</a>. But as the allusion there cannot be recovered, nothing relating to the rank of the heroine can be deduced from the recurrence of nadib (= noble) here. The reference may be to character rather than descent, just as in the opposite expression, "daughter of Belial" (<a href="/1_samuel/1-16.htm" title="Count not your handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken till now.">1Samuel 1:16</a>).Joints.--Heb. cham-k, from chamah--went away, probably refers to the rapid movements in dancing, and the image is suggested by the graceful curves formed by a chain or pendulous ornament when in motion. Or the reference may be to the contour of the person. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/songs/7.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 1. - How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! The joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman. To the ladies who are looking on the bride appears simply noble and royal. The word naudhib which is used, translated "prince's daughter," means "noble in disposition," and so in birth and rank, as in <a href="/1_samuel/2-8.htm">1 Samuel 2:8</a>; <a href="/psalms/113-8.htm">Psalm 113:8</a>; so in <a href="/songs/6-12.htm">Song of Solomon 6:12</a>, "the princely people." The description, which is perfectly chaste, is intended to bring before the eye the lithe and beautiful movements of an elegant dancer; the bendings of the body, full of activity and grace, are compared to the swinging to and fro of jewelled ornaments made in chains. The cunning workman or artist is one who is master of that which abides beautiful. אָמָּן, like, יָמִין, "whose truthful work can be trusted." The description passes from the thighs or loins to the middle part of the body, because in the mode of dancing prevailing in the East the breast and the body, are raised, and the outlines of the form appear through the clothing, which is of a light texture. We must not expect to find a symbolical meaning for all the details of such a description. The general intention is to set forth the beauty and glory of the bride. The Church of Christ is most delightful in his sight when it is most full of activity and life, and every portion of it is called forth into manifest excellence. "Arise, shine," is the invitation addressed to the whole Church, "shake thyself from the dust," "put on thy beautiful garments," be ready for thy Lord. <a href="/commentaries/songs/7-1.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>How מַה־ (mah-) Interrogative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4100.htm">Strong's 4100: </a> What?, what!, indefinitely what beautiful יָּפ֧וּ (yā·p̄ū) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3303.htm">Strong's 3303: </a> Fair, beautiful are your sandaled בַּנְּעָלִ֖ים (ban·nə·‘ā·lîm) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5275.htm">Strong's 5275: </a> A sandal tongue, a sandal, slipper feet, פְעָמַ֛יִךְ (p̄ə·‘ā·ma·yiḵ) Noun - feminine plural construct | second person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6471.htm">Strong's 6471: </a> A beat, foot, anvil, occurrence O daughter בַּת־ (baṯ-) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1323.htm">Strong's 1323: </a> A daughter of the prince! נָדִ֑יב (nā·ḏîḇ) Adjective - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5081.htm">Strong's 5081: </a> Voluntary, generous, magnanimous, a grandee The curves חַמּוּקֵ֣י (ḥam·mū·qê) Noun - masculine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2542.htm">Strong's 2542: </a> A wrapping, drawers of your thighs יְרֵכַ֔יִךְ (yə·rê·ḵa·yiḵ) Noun - fdc | second person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3409.htm">Strong's 3409: </a> Thigh,loin, flank, side are like כְּמ֣וֹ (kə·mōw) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3644.htm">Strong's 3644: </a> Like, as, when jewels, חֲלָאִ֔ים (ḥă·lā·’îm) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2481.htm">Strong's 2481: </a> An ornament the handiwork מַעֲשֵׂ֖ה (ma·‘ă·śêh) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4639.htm">Strong's 4639: </a> An action, a transaction, activity, a product, property of a master. אָמָּֽן׃ (’ām·mān) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_542.htm">Strong's 542: </a> A masterworkman, artist <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/songs/7-1.htm">Song of Solomon 7:1 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/songs/7-1.htm">Song of Solomon 7:1 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/songs/7-1.htm">Song of Solomon 7:1 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/songs/7-1.htm">Song of Solomon 7:1 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/songs/7-1.htm">Song of Solomon 7:1 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/songs/7-1.htm">Song of Solomon 7:1 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/songs/7-1.htm">Song of Solomon 7:1 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/songs/7-1.htm">Song of Solomon 7:1 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/songs/7-1.htm">Song of Solomon 7:1 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/songs/7-1.htm">Song of Solomon 7:1 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/songs/7-1.htm">OT Poetry: Song of Solomon 7:1 How beautiful are your feet in sandals (Song Songs SS So Can)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/songs/6-13.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Song of Solomon 6:13"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Song of Solomon 6:13" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/songs/7-2.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Song of Solomon 7:2"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Song of Solomon 7:2" /></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>
