In ancient Israel, perfumes were made from costly spices and oils, signifying wealth and beauty. The "fragrance" here symbolizes the beloved's character and reputation, which is as pleasing and attractive as a delightful scent. This imagery reflects the spiritual truth that a life lived in righteousness and love is a sweet aroma to God and others. is pleasing your name is like perfume poured out No wonder the maidens adore you Virgins.--Heb., alamoth; young girls. (See Note, Song of Solomon 6:8.) Those who understand Solomon to be the object of the desire expressed in these verses understand by alamoth "the ladies of the harem." In the original these three verses plainly form a stanza of five lines Verse 3. - Thine ointments have a goodly fragrance; thy name is as ointment poured forth; therefore do the virgins love thee. There is some slight difference among critics as to the rendering of this verse, but it does not affect the meaning. Lovely and delightful thou art. As thy perfumes are so precious, so is thy name; the more it is spread, the more delight is found in it. The idea is that the person is the sweetest, and that his communications are elevating and inspiring. The "virgins" may be taken generally, "Those who are full of the sensibility of youth appreciate thy attractions." The word almah is much disputed about, but the meaning is simply that of "young woman," whether virgin or married. "Thou art the delight of all the young."
