Augustine of Hippo, on Song 2:6
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Song 2:6 · Douay-Rheims
“His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.”
On this verse:
“As for the right hand of the Father, it isn't meant in the manner of the structure of the human body, as though he is on the Son's left, if the Son in terms of bodily positions and relationships is placed on his right. But the right hand of God means the inexpressible peak of honor and good fortune, as we read it said about wisdom: "His left hand under my head, and his right hand embraces me." If earthly convenience has been lying underneath, then eternal felicity is embracing from above.”
