ע֤וּרִי צָפוֹן֙ וּב֣וֹאִי תֵימָ֔ן הָפִ֥יחִי גַנִּ֖י יִזְּל֣וּ בְשָׂמָ֑יו יָבֹ֤א דוֹדִי֙ לְגַנּ֔וֹ וְיֹאכַ֖ל פְּרִ֥י מְגָדָֽיו׃
Réveille-toi, rafale du Nord! Accours, brise du Midi! Balayez de votre souffle mon jardin, pour que ses parfums s’épandent. Que mon bien-aimé entre dans son jardin et en goûte les fruits exquis!
Kol HaTor
(Song 4:16) “North, wake up; South, come” -- In gematria, the initial letters of the words: equal [566] Mashiach ben Yosef who first awakens in the North. As it states in the Midrash: The mashiach is in the North. Therefore the beginning of the ingathering of the exiles is from the land of the north, as is written: “behold, I will bring them from the land of the North” (Jer. 31:7). In the same chapter we find: “Efraim is My firstborn, ” and “call out on Mount Efraim, ’Rise and let us go up to Zion’” (Jer. 31: 5) etc., as explained above (#1), in the discussion of the aspect “Efraim is My firstborn.”
