Chapter 7 Verse 3
Thy two breasts are like two young roes, that are twins.
breasts
are the fifth part, which is here commended by Christ; what is intended by them,
has been shown in chapter 4:5, where we have met with the same commendation, and
that in the same words; only here is an omission of a clause which is added
there, namely, “which feed among the lilies.” The Targum here again makes
mention of the two Messiahs, whom the Jews vainly expect: R. Aben Ezra expounds
those words of their two laws, oral and written, as he had done in the chapter
and place above-mentioned: as R. Solomon Jarchi does also of the two tables of
the law; though he likewise produces another sense of the words, which is, that
by the two breasts are meant the king and the high priest: but for the
understanding of the words, the reader is referred to chapter 4:5, where they
are more largely insisted on.
