Midrasch zu Schir haSchirim 3:3
מְצָא֙וּנִי֙ הַשֹּׁ֣מְרִ֔ים הַסֹּבְבִ֖ים בָּעִ֑יר אֵ֛ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֥ה נַפְשִׁ֖י רְאִיתֶֽם׃
Es trafen mich die Wächter, die in der Stadt herumgehen. [Ich fragte sie:] Habt ihr den gesehen, den ich so sehr liebe?
Shir HaShirim Rabbah
“The watchmen who patrol the city found me: Have you seen the one whom my soul loves?” (Song of Songs 3:3).
“The watchmen who patrol,” this is the tribe of Levi, just as it says: “Pass back and forth from gate to gate” (Exodus 32:27). “The one whom my soul loves,” this is Moses.
