Le Cantique des Cantiques 2:7 Commentaire : Rashi & Ezra ben Solomon

הִשְׁבַּ֨עְתִּי אֶתְכֶ֜ם בְּנ֤וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ בִּצְבָא֔וֹת א֖וֹ בְּאַיְל֣וֹת הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה אִם־תָּעִ֧ירוּ ׀ וְֽאִם־תְּעֽוֹרְר֛וּ אֶת־הָאַהֲבָ֖ה עַ֥ד שֶׁתֶּחְפָּֽץ׃ (ס)

Je vous en conjure, ô filles de Jérusalem, par les biches et les gazelles des champs: n’éveillez pas, ne provoquez pas l’amour, avant qu’il le veuille.

Rashi

I bind you under oath. You, the nations.

Ezra ben Solomon

I adjure you: She speaks to Israel: beware lest sin causes the shekhinah to depart.

Rashi

By the gazelles and the does. That you will be abandoned and preyed upon like gazelles and does.

Rashi

That you do not cause hatred nor disturb this love. That is between my beloved and I, to change it or to exchange it and seek that I be lured after you.

Rashi

While it still pleases. As long as it is ingrained in my heart, and He desires me.

Rashi

While it still pleases. As in, “While עַד the king was at his table,”11Above 1:12. [i.e.,] while the king was still at his table.

Rashi

That you do not cause hatred. If you cause hatred [=עֵר, as in, “and has become your adversary עָרֶךָ,”12I Shmuel 28:16. [and as in,] “And its interpretation upon Your enemies לְעָרָיךְ.”13Daniyeil 4:16.

Rashi

Nor disturb. As in, “one who contests הָעוֹרֵר the ownership of a field,”14Mishnayos Kesubos 13:6. chaloner in O.F. There are many Aggadic Midrashim, but they do not match the sequence of the topics, for I see that Shlomo prophesied and spoke about the exodus from Egypt and about the giving of the Torah, and the Tabernacle, the entry into the land [i.e., Eretz Yisroel], and the Beis Hamikdosh, the exile in Bavel, and the coming of the second Beis Hamikdosh and its destruction.
