3 His left hand H8040 should be under my head, H7218 and his right hand H3225 should embrace H2263 me.
4 I charge H7650 you, O daughters H1323 of Jerusalem, H3389 that ye stir not up, H5782 nor awake H5782 my love, H160 until he please. H2654
5 Who is this that cometh up H5927 from the wilderness, H4057 leaning H7514 upon her beloved? H1730 I raised H5782 thee up under the apple tree: H8598 there thy mother H517 brought thee forth: H2254 there she brought thee forth H2254 that bare H3205 thee.

Commentary on Song of Songs 8 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 8
The affections between Christ and his spouse are as strong and lively here, in this closing chapter of the song, as ever, and rather more so.
Sgs 8:1-4
Here,
Sgs 8:5-7
Here,
Sgs 8:8-12
Christ and his spouse having sufficiently confirmed their love to each other, and agreed it to be on both sides strong as death and inviolable, they are here, in these verses, like a loving husband and his wife, consulting together about their affairs, and considering what they should do. Yoke-fellows, having laid their hearts together, lay their heads together, to contrive about their relations and about their estates; and, accordingly, this happy pair are here advising with one another about a sister, and a vineyard.
Sgs 8:13-14
Christ and his spouse are here parting for a while; she must stay below in the gardens on earth, where she has work to do for him; he must remove to the mountains of spices in heaven, where he has business to attend for her, as an advocate with the Father. Now observe with what mutual endearments they part.
