This is the day when the Bride is purchased. Without this cost, and indeed this cost shared by the Bride, there can be no equity, no righteousness, no birth, and creation would be indeed stillborn (as Job wished in chapter 3). Enter into such warfare, O beloved ones. It is for this reason that the love imagery is also so martial in the Song.

For the leader upon lilies, of the children of Korah.
An insight. A song of the two beloved. |
