Christ sets forth the graces of the church8. He shows forth his love to her 16. The church prays to be made fit for his presence You have captured my heart The phrase "captured my heart" is a vivid expression of deep emotional and spiritual connection. In Hebrew, the word for "captured" (לִבַּבְתִּנִי, libbabtini) conveys the idea of being enraptured or taken hold of. This suggests a profound and overwhelming affection that transcends mere physical attraction. In the context of a conservative Christian perspective, this can be seen as a metaphor for the love Christ has for His Church, where the believer's devotion and faithfulness capture the heart of Christ. my sister, my bride you have captured my heart with one glance of your eyes with one jewel of your necklace "Thy rose lips and full-blown eyes Take the heart from out my breast," gives the feeling of the passage. Verse 9. - Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my bride; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. The bridegroom still continues his address of love, which we must not, of course, press too closely, though it is noticeable that the language becomes somewhat more sober in tone, as though the writer were conscious of the higher application to which it would be put. Some translators take the first clause as though the word "ravished" should be rendered "emboldened." Symmachus, ἐθαρσύνας με. The Hebrew word לִבֵּב, literally, "heartened," may mean, as in Aramaic, "make courageous." Love in the beginning overpowers, unhearts, but the general idea must be that of "smitten" or "captured." So the LXX., Venetian, and Jerome, ἐκαρδίωσας με, vulnerasti cor meum (cf. Psalm 45:6). My sister, my bride, is, of course, the same as "my sisterly bride," a step beyond "my betrothed." Gesenius thinks that "one of thine eyes" should be "one look of thine;" but may it not refer to the eye appearing through the veil, as again one chain of the neck may glitter and attract all the more that the whole ornamentation did not appear in view? If but a portion of her beauty so overpowers, what will be the effect of the whole blaze of her perfection? As the Church advances in her likeness to her Lord, she becomes more and more the object of his delight, and as the soul receives more and more grace, so is her fellowship with Christ more and more assured and joyful.Parallel Commentaries ...
