Thy plants are a paradise of pomegranates with the fruits of the orchard. Cypress with spikenard.
You send forth a paradise of pomegranates along with the fruits of the orchard: Cypress grapes, with aromatic oil;1
- 4:13The phrase ‘malorum punicorum’ refers to Punician ‘apples,’ i.e. pomegranates. Again, the term ‘Cypri’ in the context of fruits of a garden refers to Cypress grapes. (These grapes were valued above other grapes because of the renown of the vineyards and wines of Cyprus.) The word ‘nardo’ is translated as ‘aromatic oil’ because that plant was used to make aromatic oil, and because ‘nard’ or ‘spikenard’ is unrecognizable to most readers. +To Christ, the Church is an orchard sending forth its fruits throughout the world.(Conte)
