אָק֨וּמָה נָּ֜א וַאֲסוֹבְבָ֣ה בָעִ֗יר בַּשְּׁוָקִים֙ וּבָ֣רְחֹב֔וֹת אֲבַקְשָׁ֕ה אֵ֥ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֖ה נַפְשִׁ֑י בִּקַּשְׁתִּ֖יו וְלֹ֥א מְצָאתִֽיו׃
’I will rise now, and go about the city, In the streets and in the broad ways, I will seek him whom my soul loveth.’ I sought him, but I found him not.
Rashi on Song of Songs
I will rise now ... I will seek. “And Moshe prayed,”5Shemos 32:11. [and] “I will go up to the Adonoy.”6Ibid. 32:30.
Ezra ben Solomon on Song of Songs
I must rise and roam the town: Israel adds further, saying: “I engaged in many supplications and circumambulated the Throne of Glory, but to no avail.”
