(아1:1-17)
1 Solomon's Song of Songs. 2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth--for your love is more delightful than wine. 3 Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you! 4 Take me away with you--let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. How right they are to adore you! 5 Dark am I, yet lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, dark like the tents of Kedar, like the tent curtains of Solomon. 6 Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I have neglected. 7 Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock and where you rest your sheep at midday. Why should I be like a veiled woman beside the flocks of your friends? 8 If you do not know, most beautiful of women, follow the tracks of the sheep and graze your young goats by the tents of the shepherds. 9 I liken you, my darling, to a mare harnessed to one of the chariots of Pharaoh. 10 Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels. 11 We will make you earrings of gold, studded with silver. 12 While the king was at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance. 13 My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts. 14 My lover is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi. 15 How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh, how beautiful! Your eyes are doves. 16 How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant. 17 The beams of our house are cedars; our rafters are firs.
오늘부터는 아가서
하나님은 왜 솔로몬의 사랑스토리를
66권의 성경에 삽입 하도록 하셨을까?
그것은
하나님께서
너희들을 그 정도로 사랑한다는 말씀을 숨겨 놓은 것
아가서의 특징 중 하나는
솔로몬의 일방적인 사랑일 뿐
여인의 솔로몬에 대한 사랑이야기는 거의 다루지 않는다는 점
그 점을 통해
하나님과 인간의 사랑은
솔로몬의 그것과 마찬가지로 하나님이 일방적인 사랑을 하고 있다는 점을 알게 하고자 하시는 그 부분이 은익(隱匿) 되었음을 알게 된다
5절에 ‘O daughters of Jerusalem’이라는 말
솔로몬의 상대가 당연 여자이고 보면
이는 하나님의 백성들 = 교회(ecclesia)를 의미하는 것
오늘부터
하나님께서
얼마나 교회를 사랑하시는지 ...실감할 수 있을 것 같다
