I went down into the nut tree grove, to see the green plants of the valley, to see whether the vine budded, and the pomegranates were in flower.

EXPLANATION

Verse 11. Aminadab. The devil, (Theod.) or probably some renowned general. Aquila explains it “of the people’s leader,” ( Calmet.) or “munificent one.” Mont.—I knew not what forced me to flee with such speed, as if I had been panic-struck, ( Calmet.) or the spouse professes that she knew not that he had retired into the garden of nuts, or she would not have been under apprehensions of his being ill-treated by Aminadab, as Christ was by Pilate. Menochius.
