John Gill Commentary Song Of Solomon 8:3

"His left hand [should be] under my head, And his right hand should embrace me." — Song Of Solomon 8:3 (ASV)

His left hand [should be] under my head, and his right hand
should embrace me .
] That is, when she should have the presence of Christ in her mother's house. Or the words are a petition that so it might be, "let his left hand" ^F7 ; or a declaration of what she did enjoy, "his left hand is under my head" ^F8 , (See Gill on Song of Solomon 2:6).
