Christ shows the graces of the church 10. and his love toward her Who is this This phrase introduces a sense of wonder and admiration. In the Hebrew text, the word "this" (זֹאת, "zot") is feminine, indicating the subject is a woman. The question reflects the awe and admiration of the onlookers, possibly the daughters of Jerusalem, as they behold the Shulammite woman. This rhetorical question sets the stage for a description of her unparalleled beauty and grace, which can be seen as a metaphor for the Church or the individual believer in their sanctified state. who shines like the dawn as fair as the moon as bright as the sun as majestic as the stars in procession "But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?

The word rendered "looketh forth" is literally "bendeth forward," i.e. in order to look out or forth (cf. Psalm 14:2), LXX., ἐκκυπτοῦσα Venet., παρακυπτοῦσα (cf. James 1:25, "stooping down and looking into the Word as into well"). The idea seems to be that of a rising luminary, looking forth from the background, breaking through the shades of the garden, like the morning star appearing above the horizon (ὡς ἑωσφόρος, Venetian) (cf. Isaiah 14:12, where the morning star is called הֶן שַׁחַר). The moon is generally יָדֵח, "yellow," but here לְבָנָה, "white," i.e. pale and sweet, as the lesser light, with true womanly delicacy and fairness; but the rest of the description, which plainly is added for the sake of the symbolical suggestiveness of the figures, removes all idea of mere weakness. Clear (or, bright) as the sun. And the word for "sun" is not, as usual, shemesh, but chammah, "heat," the warming light (Psalm 19:7; see Job 31:26; Isaiah 49:2).
