Kabbalah Kidung Agung 4:5: Sha'arei Orah

שְׁנֵ֥י שָׁדַ֛יִךְ כִּשְׁנֵ֥י עֳפָרִ֖ים תְּאוֹמֵ֣י צְבִיָּ֑ה הָרוֹעִ֖ים בַּשּׁוֹשַׁנִּֽים׃

Kedua buah dadamu bagaikan dua anak rusa, anak kembar seekor kijang betina, yang merumput di antara bunga-bunga bakung.

Sha'arei Orah

These two aspects of Torah adhere to each other, “Like two fawns, twins of the gazelle.”281Song of Songs 4:5 Regarding one who separates between the two, the verse states,282Proverbs 16:28 “A querulous person estranges the Master,” and is compared to a person who has no god at all. Therefore, know that wherever the Torah states, “And HaShem spoke-VaYedaber HaShem-וידבר יהו״ה to Moshe saying-Leimor-לאמר,” it is hinting at both the Written Torah (Torah SheB’Khtav) and the Oral Torah (Torah SheBa’al Peh). Similarly, the verse states,283Song of Songs 1:2 “Give me the kisses of Your mouth.”284That is, the mouth (Peh-פה) refers to the Oral Torah (Torah SheBa’al Peh).
