13 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
13 Thy plants H7973 are an orchard H6508 of pomegranates, H7416 with pleasant H4022 fruits; H6529 camphire, H3724 with spikenard, H5373
13 Thy shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits; Henna with spikenard plants,
13 Thy shoots a paradise of pomegranates, With precious fruits,
13 Thy shoots are a paradise of pomegranates, with precious fruits; Henna with spikenard plants;
13 Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits: Henna with spikenard plants,
13 The produce of the garden is pomegranates; with all the best fruits, henna and spikenard,
My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
While the king sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves. The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Commentary on Song of Songs 4 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 4
In this chapter,
Sgs 4:1-7
Here is,
Sgs 4:8-14
These are still the words of Christ to his church, expressing his great esteem of her and affection to her, the opinion he had of her beauty and excellency, the desire he had of, and the delight he had in, her converse and society. And so ought men to love their wives as Christ loves the church, and takes pleasure in it as if it were spotless and had no fault, when yet it is compassed with infirmity. Now, observe here,
Sgs 4:15-16
These seem to be the words of the spouse, the church, in answer to the commendations which Christ, the bridegroom, had given of her as a pleasant fruitful garden. Is she a garden?
