Charles Ellicott Commentary Song Of Solomon 8:2

"I would lead thee, [and] bring thee into my mother`s house, Who would instruct me; I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate." — Song Of Solomon 8:2 (ASV)

Juice of my pomegranate. — “People in the East,” says Dr. Kitto, “indulge largely in beverages made of fresh juice of various kinds of fruits. Among these, sherbet made of pomegranate juice is particularly valued; and from its agreeable and cooling acidity, I myself was accustomed to prefer it to any other drink of this kind.” The meaning of the verse is explained by Song of Solomon 1:2; Song of Solomon 5:1; Song of Solomon 7:9.
