Tafsiran Kidung Agung 7:9: Rashi & Ezra ben Solomon

אָמַ֙רְתִּי֙ אֶעֱלֶ֣ה בְתָמָ֔ר אֹֽחֲזָ֖ה בְּסַנְסִנָּ֑יו וְיִֽהְיוּ־נָ֤א שָׁדַ֙יִךְ֙ כְּאֶשְׁכְּל֣וֹת הַגֶּ֔פֶן וְרֵ֥יחַ אַפֵּ֖ךְ כַּתַּפּוּחִֽים׃

Kataku, aku akan memanjat pohon kurma itu dan memegang pelepah-pelepahnya; kiranya kedua buah dadamu seperti tandan-tandan buah anggur, dan harum wajahmu seperti buah apel.

Rashi

I said, I will ascend the palm tree. I boast of you among the heavenly hosts, that I will be exalted and sanctified through your actions in the earthly abodes, when you will sanctify My Name among the nations.

Ezra ben Solomon

I say: Let me climb the palm: Israel said: “Although sin has caused separation [between God and myself], I planned to ascend to greatness through the merit of the shekhinah who is compared to a palm tree.”

I will grasp its branches. And I will grasp and cleave to you; “סַנְסִנִּים” are branches.

Rashi

And now let your breasts.. And now, make true My words, that you will not be enticed to follow the nations, and may the good and wise among you be steadfast in their faith, to retort to those who entice them, so that the lesser ones among you will learn from them.
