Song. 5:1 I came to my garden. In her dream, the man samples all that the woman offered him in 4:16. The chorus encourages him, echoing themes from 4:16–5:1.
Song. 5:2–6:3 This dream is caused by the woman’s desire to be with her beloved instead of being separated from him.
Song. 5:2 The knocking she hears is in her dream. The man’s request is clear: he wants to enter the house to be with the woman. Note the urgency in his command to open, and the flood of endearing names that follows.
Song. 5:3 Her initial response of trivial objections is likely the kind of disorientation that one encounters in a dream, leading to the confusing episode in vv. 4–7.
Song. 5:4–7 She decides to let him in, but he has already left. She pursues him. The watchmen find her and beat her (contrast 3:3), leaving her bruised (5:7). If this were an actual event, it would be unclear why the watchmen did this. As part of a dream, though, it would simply be a nightmarish episode.
Song. 5:8 In 2:5 the man was present when the woman uttered the words sick with love. Now he is absent, so she is probably referring to her desire to be with him.
Song. 5:13 Men in ancient Israel almost always had beards. The description of his cheeks as beds of spices would apply more appropriately to a beard than to skin.
Song. 5:14–16 The man is clearly the object of great praise in this section. The woman considers him to be altogether desirable.
