My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
All Commentaries on Song of Songs 5:10 Go To Song of Songs 5
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
“My beloved is white and ruddy.” It is fitting, O virgin, that you should fully know him whom you love, and should recognize in him all the mystery of his divine nature and the body which he has assumed. He is white fittingly, for he is the brightness of the Father; and ruddy, for he was born of a Virgin. The color of each nature shines and glows in him.
