My beloved spoke
The term "beloved" in Hebrew is "דּוֹדִי" (dodi), which conveys a deep sense of affection and intimacy. In the context of the Song of Solomon, this word is often interpreted as a representation of Christ's love for the Church. The act of speaking signifies communication and relationship. Historically, the Song of Solomon is seen as an allegory of God's love, and here, the beloved's voice is a call to attention, a divine invitation to listen and respond.

and said to me
The phrase "said to me" emphasizes personal communication. In Hebrew, "אָמַר" (amar) is used, which is a common verb for speaking or saying. This personal address highlights the intimate relationship between the speaker and the listener. In a spiritual sense, it reflects the personal nature of God's call to each believer, inviting them into a deeper relationship with Him.

Arise
The Hebrew word "קוּם" (qum) means to rise, stand up, or awaken. This is a call to action, a summons to leave a place of rest or inactivity. In the spiritual allegory, it can be seen as a call to spiritual awakening or renewal. The call to "arise" is often seen as an invitation to leave behind the old life and embrace a new, vibrant relationship with God.

my darling
The term "darling" is translated from the Hebrew "רַעְיָתִי" (ra'yati), which means "my companion" or "my love." This term of endearment signifies a cherished relationship. In the context of the Song of Solomon, it reflects the deep love and affection that Christ has for His Church. It is a reminder of the personal and loving relationship that God desires with each believer.

come away with me
The phrase "come away" is an invitation to leave one's current circumstances and join the beloved in a new place or journey. In Hebrew, "לֵךְ" (lek) is used, which means to go or walk. This is an invitation to intimacy and adventure, a call to leave behind distractions and focus on the beloved. Spiritually, it represents the call to follow Christ, to leave behind worldly concerns, and to pursue a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with Him.

Verse 10. - My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. The word "spake" Conveys the meaning in answer to a person appearing, but not necessarily in answer to a voice heard. We most suppose that Shulamith recognized her beloved, and made some sign that she was near, or looked forth from the window. As the soul responds, it is more and more invited; the voice of the Bridegroom is heard calling the object of his love by name, "I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine" (Isaiah 43:1).
