Clarke's Song-of-solomon 4:6 Bible Commentary
Until the day break - Until the morning breeze. See Sol 2:17.
The shadows flee away - Till the sun sets.
Mountain of myrrh - Probably the same as the mountains of Bether, Sol 2:17. Mountains where the trees grew from which myrrh and incense were extracted.
Wesley's Song-of-solomon 4:6 Bible Commentary
4:6 Until - These words are uttered by the bride, chap. 2:17 , and here returned by the bridegroom as an answer to that request. And this place may be understood of the day of glory, when all shadows and ordinances shall cease. To the hill - To my church upon earth, which was typified by the mountain of Moriah and the temple upon it. This in prophetic writings is called a mountain, and may well be called a mountain of myrrh and frankincense, both for the acceptable services which are there offered to God, and for the precious gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit, which are of a sweet smelling savour to God and men. Thus Christ directs believers, where they may find him, namely in his church and ordinances.
