This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I said within myself, I resolved,
I will go up to the palm tree; I will climb up, that so I may
take hold, as it follows, of the boughs, which do not grow out of the sides, as in other trees, but only at the top of it.
I will take hold of the boughs thereof, partly to prune and dress them, and partly to gather the fruit; whereby is signified Christ’s care of his church, and his delight in her.
Of thy nose; of thy breath; which is oft called the breath of or in a man’s nostrils, Gen_7:22 Isa_2:22 Lam_4:20.
Like apples; either,
1. Common apples, which sometimes yield a very pleasant smell. Or,
2. Odoriferous apples. See Poole "Son_2:5".
