Midrasch zu Schir haSchirim 3:2
אָק֨וּמָה נָּ֜א וַאֲסוֹבְבָ֣ה בָעִ֗יר בַּשְּׁוָקִים֙ וּבָ֣רְחֹב֔וֹת אֲבַקְשָׁ֕ה אֵ֥ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֖ה נַפְשִׁ֑י בִּקַּשְׁתִּ֖יו וְלֹ֥א מְצָאתִֽיו׃
Nun mußte ich aufstehen und umherlaufen in der Stadt, auf Plätzen und Straßen suchen, den ich so sehr liebe — ich suchte ihn und fand ihn nicht.
Shir HaShirim Rabbah
“I will rise now, and circulate in the city, in the streets and in the squares. I will seek the one whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I did not find him” (Song of Songs 3:2).
“I will rise now, and circulate in the city, in the streets and in the squares,” in the cities and in the provinces. “I will seek the one whom my soul loves,” this is Moses; “I sought him, but I did not find him.”
