Commentaire sur Le Cantique des Cantiques 2:6

His left hand was under my head. In the wilderness.

And his right hand would embrace me. He traveled a three-days’ journey to search out a resting place for them,⁹See Bamidbar 10:33. and in that resting place, He brought down manna and quails for them. All this I remember now in my exile, and I am sick for His love.¹⁰Alternatively, this verse can be viewed as a prayer by the Bnei Yisroel, for God to once again demonstrate His love and “embrace me.” (Metzudas Dovid)
