The woman repeats what she said in Song of Solomon 8:1 in this verse. If he were her brother, while the family was present, she could just give him a kiss. Then she could be very playful with him without anyone reproaching her. But now it is different. Now she has to keep her distance. It is her mother who taught her that it is improper for men and women to be intimate with each other outside of their own homes. At times the woman longs so much for her husband that she would like to show, in public, that she loves him so dearly. You can see this when the wife is speaking of wanting him to drink of the wine and the juice of her pomegranates (see also Song of Solomon 2:3–6; Song of Solomon 4:3; Song of Solomon 5:1 and Song of Solomon 7:9 for this).
2 I would lead you and bring you into the house of my mother she who used to teach me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the juice of my pomegranate.
