Commentaire sur Le Cantique des Cantiques 2:7
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.
