The voice of my beloved! behold, he comes leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
All Commentaries on Song of Songs 2:8 Go To Song of Songs 2
Aquinas Study Bible
AD 2017
leaping upon mountains: that is, descending upon Mt. Sinai, where he gave the precepts of the decalogue. Mt. Sinai is called "mountains" and "hills" in the plural because of the various parts of it; or perhaps here is a case of the use of the plural for the singular, as Scripture does frequently. (Nicholas of Lyra) Perhaps it also refers to Christ's preaching and teaching in the hills and mountains, as well as the Transfiguration. Also Christ ascended from a mountain after the resurrection. (St. Jerome)
