Song of Solomon 8:6

6 Groom to Bride: Under the apple tree, I awakened you. There your mother was corrupted. There she who bore you was violated. ^{▼▼8:6The groom notes that the bride’s mother went astray from faithfulness to her husband under an apple tree, and that the bride was awakened in that same place. He is concerned that his bride will go astray like her mother. So he continues with the next verse. +Christ reminds the Church that the Israelites of the Jewish faith (which gave birth to the Christian faith) went astray from faithfulness to God. He points out that the Church has the same tendencies as the ancient Israelites (for she was awakened under the same tree).(Conte)}
