John Trapp on Song of Solomon 5:14

Verſ. 14. His hands are as gold Rings ſet with the Beril] Or Chryſolite. Heb. Tarſhiſh, whence our word Turkeis (as it may ſeem) a precious ſtone, of colour blew like the Skie, or (as others ſay) green like the Sea: Aſher was graven upon this ſtone, who dwelt near the Sea, Exod. 28.20. Some write, that in former times this ſtone was moſt uſually ſet in ſuch Rings as Lovers did uſe to give one to another, or in Marriage-Rings; becauſe of the power that was thought to bee in it to procure and continue love and liking one of them towards another. Whatſoever ſtone it is, whether a Beril, Chryſolite, Carbuncle, Hyacinth, Onyx (for all theſe waies it is rendred) the Churches meaning is, that all the works of Chriſt, whether in the ſtate of Humiliation, or of Exaltation (for redemption wee have by his Abaſement, application of it by his Advancement) are moſt rare, dear, precious, and glorious, as numbers of Rings filled with all manner of coſtly ſtones: they are acceptable and honourable before God and man. And like as great men are known by their Rings, and rich Jewels, ſo is Chriſt by his Saints, the work of his hands, Iſa. 64.8.

His belly is as bright Ivory, overlaid with Sapphires] Heb. His bowels, in the dual; meaning his breaſt and belly, and there, the heart and lights, thoſe ſeats of the will and affections; here, the liver, ſtomach, entrails, which ſerve for nutrition and generation. By all this wee may well underſtand Chriſts inward affections outwardly manifeſted. Theſe are true and ſincere, as bright and white Ivory; they are alſo hearty and heavenly as Sapphires: various alſo and manifold, ſicut Sapphiri caeruleae ſunt, His bowels yearn toward his afflicted people, his heart is turned within him, his repentings are kindled together, Hoſ. 11.8, ſo the Poet, Ingemuit miſerans graviter, dextram que tetendit.Virg.
