Song of Songs 4:8

Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

AD 2017
Lebonon is a mountain in Phonenicia. (Haimo of Auxerre) Amana, Sanir, and Hermon are the names of mountains rising above the Jordan River from which one can see the land of Judea. (Nicholas of Lyra) This spouse Christ invites home to Himself through Solomon from the call of the Gentiles. He elegantly makes mention of Lebanon (the mountain, of course) because it stands for the name of frankincense with the Greeks; for it was from idolatry that He betrothed Himself the Church.(Tertullian) Amana means 'troubled.' Sanir means 'stench.' Hermon means' excommunication.' (St. Anselm) dens of lions are those who persecute; leopards are heretics. (St. Gregory the Great)
