Commentary for Song of Songs 4:15

מַעְיַ֣ן גַּנִּ֔ים בְּאֵ֖ר מַ֣יִם חַיִּ֑ים וְנֹזְלִ֖ים מִן־לְבָנֽוֹן׃

Thou art a fountain of gardens, A well of living waters, And flowing streams from Lebanon.

Rashi on Song of Songs

You are a garden spring. All this refers back to, “Your arid fields,” and he praises them like a fountain which irrigates them. The allegory is: It refers to the immersions of purification which the daughters of Yisroel immerse themselves.

Rashi on Song of Songs

And flowing streams from Levanon. From a place of cleanliness, without the murkiness of mud.
