Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Boughs.--Heb. sansan; only here. Probably a form derived from the sound, like salsal, zalzal, &c, denoting the waving of the long feathery branches of the palm.Smell of thy nose--i.e., "fragrance of thy breath," ap = nose being used apparently because of the resemblance of its root, anap = breathe, with that of tappuach = apple.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewI said,אָמַ֙רְתִּי֙ (’ā·mar·tî)Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common singularStrong's 559: To utter, say“I will climbאֶעֱלֶ֣ה (’e·‘ĕ·leh)Verb - Qal - Imperfect Cohortative if contextual - first person common singularStrong's 5927: To ascend, in, activelythe palm tree;בְתָמָ֔ר (ḇə·ṯā·mār)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 8558: Palm tree, date palmI will take holdאֹֽחֲזָ֖ה (’ō·ḥă·zāh)Verb - Qal - Imperfect Cohortative - first person common singularStrong's 270: To grasp, take hold, take possessionof its fruit.”בְּסַנְסִנָּ֑יו (bə·san·sin·nāw)Preposition-b | Noun - masculine plural construct | third person masculine singularStrong's 5577: Fruit stalk (of the date)May your breastsשָׁדַ֙יִךְ֙ (šā·ḏa·yiḵ)Noun - mdc | second person feminine singularStrong's 7699: The breast of a, woman, animalbeוְיִֽהְיוּ־ (wə·yih·yū-)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, belike clustersכְּאֶשְׁכְּל֣וֹת (kə·’eš·kə·lō·wṯ)Preposition-k | Noun - masculine plural constructStrong's 811: A bunch of grapes, other fruitof the vine,הַגֶּ֔פֶן (hag·ge·p̄en)Article | Noun - common singularStrong's 1612: A vine, the grapethe fragranceוְרֵ֥יחַ (wə·rê·aḥ)Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular constructStrong's 7381: To smell, perceive odorof your breathאַפֵּ֖ךְ (’ap·pêḵ)Noun - masculine singular construct | second person feminine singularStrong's 639: The nose, nostril, the face, a person, irelike apples,כַּתַּפּוּחִֽים׃ (kat·tap·pū·ḥîm)Preposition-k, Article | Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 8598: An apple, the fruit, the treeJump to PreviousApples Beloved Boughs Branches Breasts Breath Citrons Climb Clusters Countenance Face Fragrance Fruit Hold Indeed Lay Nose Palm Palm-Tree Scent Smell Stalks Thereof Tree Vine
