The church professes her faith and desire (9) Causing the lips.--The text in this verse has evidently undergone some change. The LXX., in stead of siphthei yesheynim, lips of sleepers, read sephathaim veshinnayim, ??????? ??? ??? ??????. The Marg., instead of yesheynim, sleepers, reads yeshanim, the ancient, which Luther adopts, translating "of the previous year." Ledodi, for my beloved, is evidently either an accidental insertion of the copyist, the eye having caught dodi in the next verse, or more probably is wrongly vowelled. The verse is untranslatable as it stands; but by reading ledodai, "to my caresses" (comp. Song of Solomon 1:2; Song of Solomon 4:10; Song of Solomon 7:12), we get a sense entirely harmonious with the context, and this is a change less violent than to reject ledodi altogether. It is the old figure, comparing kisses to wine (comp. Song of Solomon 1:2; Song of Solomon 2:4; Song of Solomon 5:1). "The roof of the mouth" (comp. Song of Solomon 5:16), or palate, is put by metonymy for the mouth generally. Dobeb is either from the root dob, cognate with zob = flow gently, and means suffusing, in which case we translate "Thy mouth pours out an exquisite wine, which runs sweetly down in answer to my caresses, and suffuses (LXX. ???????????, accommodating itself to) our lips as we fall asleep"--or, according to the Rabbinical interpretation, followed by the Authorised Version (which connects dobeb with dabab, a Talmudic word = speaking), there may be in it the idea of a dream making the lips move as in speech. In this case the lines of Shelley suggest the meaning:-- . . . Parallel Commentaries ...
