The church professes her faith and desire How beautiful The Hebrew word for "beautiful" here is "יָפֶה" (yafeh), which conveys not just physical beauty but also a sense of harmony and perfection. In the context of the Song of Solomon, this beauty is not merely external but reflects an inner grace and dignity. The use of "how" emphasizes the speaker's admiration and awe, suggesting a beauty that surpasses ordinary standards. are your sandaled feet O daughter of royalty Your graceful legs are like jewels the work of a master’s hand (1) How beautiful . . .--Literally, How beautiful are thy feet (or thy steps) in the sandals. This description of the beauty of the bride-- "From the delicate Arab arch of her feet To the grace that, bright and light as the crest Of 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 Song of Solomon 6:12. 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" (1Samuel 1:16). 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. . . . 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 1 Samuel 2:8; Psalm 113:8; so in Song of Solomon 6:12, "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.Parallel Commentaries ...
