This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Is but one; the only beloved of my soul, my only spouse, in comparison of whom I despise all others.
She is the only one of her mother; of Jerusalem above, which is the mother of us all, Gal_4:26. Or if this seem to confound the mother and daughter, the words may be thus rendered,
she is the only one of her mother, i.e. she is as dear and as precious to me as only children use to be to their parents, and especially to their mothers. So there is only a defect of the note of similitude, which is frequently understood, as hath been formerly noted and proved by undeniable instances.
Daughters, called virgins, Son_6:8.
They praised her; as more beautiful and worthy than themselves, which was so evident that they were forced to confess it.
