Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Kidung Agung 7:8

We prepare a plate for the Seder containing two cooked foods, three matzot, a variety of vegetables, and haroset. The two cooked foods: one of them should be roasted as a reminder of the Passover offering and one should be cooked as a reminder of the hagigah, the festive offering, which was consumed before the Passover offering so that the Passover offering would be consumed when one already had sufficient to eat. The following verse: "You shall not break a bone of it," (Ex. 12:46) is interpreted to mean that if he was ravenously hungry when he ate the Passover offering, he might be suspected of breaking the bones of the offering.
This is how the commandment was fulfilled in the time of the Holy Temple: first they would break the Passover offering, reciting over it, 'Praised are you Adonai our God…who command us concerning the eating of the Passover offering.' Each person would then eat at least an olive's amount of the meat from it. Afterwards they would bring the Festive offering, reciting the blessing, "who commanded us regarding the eating of the offering." When they completed eating the Festive offering, they would bring the Passover offering back and eat it after having satisfied themselves (with the other offering).
When the Fourteenth of Nisan fell on a Shabbat, it was only necessary to eat the Passover offering and not the cooked offering for the Festive offering, since the Festive offering does not take precedence over the observance of the Sabbath. The Jerusalem Talmud adds that the two portions (for the Seder plate) should be the shoulder and an egg. The egg symbolizes compassion for the redemption that God provides, and the shoulder, symbolizes, 'God provides redemption through God's exalted hand.
Customarily there are two vegetables on the Seder plate. One is karpas. When one inverts the letters of karpas, it spells samekh parekh. The letter samekh refers to the sixty tens of thousands of Israelites who were enslaved. And the word parekh means oppressed. The other vegetable is hazeret which is also called hasa. Hasa is an allusion to the Holy One who has mercy (has) upon us. According to the sages, the haroset is a reminder of the clay from which they made the bricks when the Egyptians enslaved the Israelites. It is made from different types of sweet and tart fruits as well as spices that look like the straw used in the making of bricks. We put apples in as a reminder of the verse in scripture, "beneath an apple tree I aroused you." (Song of Songs 8:5) Nuts are a reminder of the verse, "I went down to the garden of nuts." (Song 6:11) Figs are an allusion of the verse, "The fig tree puts forth her green figs." (Song 2:13) Dates are an allusion to the verse, "your stature is like a palm tree" (Song 7:8). Spices like cinnamon are a reminder of the straw used in the making of bricks.

The secret of ‘b’zoth’ (With this) shall Aaron come into the holy place,²¹Verse 3 here. is analogous to the secret of ‘zoth’ (this is) the token of the covenant which I have established.²⁵Genesis 9:17. I have already explained it.²⁶“And you will find it in the covenant of the Sabbath” (Ma’or V’shamesh). See Ramban, Exodus 31:13, Vol. II, p. 548. Our Rabbis alluded to it in saying in Vayikra Rabbah:²⁷Vayikra Rabbah 21:5. “Rabbi Yudan explained the verse [‘With this’ shall Aaron come into the holy place] with reference to the High Priest when entering the Holy of Holies: he came with many bundles of commandments [fulfilled by Israel] in his possession. He came in there by merit of [their studying] Torah, as it is said, and ‘this’ is the law;²⁸Deuteronomy 4:44. by merit of circumcision, as it is said, ‘This’ is My covenant, which ye shall keep;²⁹Genesis 17:10. by merit of keeping the Sabbath, as it is said, Happy is the man that doeth ‘this’ [… that keepeth the Sabbath];³⁰Isaiah 56:2. by the guarding influence of Jerusalem, as it is said, ‘This’ is Jerusalem;³¹Ezekiel 5:5. by the guarding influence of the [twelve] tribes, as it is said, and ‘this’ is that their father spoke unto them;³²Genesis 49:28. by the guarding influence of Judah, as it is said, And ‘this’ [Moses said] for Judah;³³Deuteronomy 33:7. by the guarding influence of the congregation of Israel, as it is said, ‘This’ thy stature is like to a palm-tree;³⁴Song of Songs 7:8. by merit of [Israel having observed the law of] the heave-offering, as it is said, And ‘this’ is ‘ha’terumah’ (the offering);³⁵Exodus 25:3. The word terumah is here understood in the wider sense of “something set apart.” The portion given to the priest from the produce of the corn, etc. is therefore terumah. In this particular verse it refers to that which was set apart as a freewill gift for the erection of the Tabernacle. by the merit of [Israel giving] the tithes, as it is said, and try Me now with ‘this;’³⁶Malachi 3:10. The verse begins: Bring ye the whole ‘tithe’ into the store-house, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now with this … If I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing. by the merit of bringing the offerings, as it is said, With ‘this’ shall Aaron come.” This text requires a lengthy exposition, but it is all explained in our commentary [in various places].³⁷These explanations are found mostly on the Scriptural verses mentioned above, and the meaning of those left unexplained can be surmized from those explained (Kur Zahav).

A kabbalistic approach: The word בזאת is a reference to כנסת ישראל, the spiritual concept represented by the Jewish people. The word יבא is proof that this is what the verse has in mind, i.e. that there will be a spiritual ascent leading to קדש, “sanctity,” i.e. the domain of true wisdom, the second highest emanation immediately below that of כתר. This emanation is the source of all blessing, and it is what David referred to when he wrote in Psalms 134,2: שאו ידיכם קודש וברכו את ה', “raise your hands towards the Sanctuary and bless the Lord” (normal translation). The sages steeped in mystical lore who were quoted in Vayikra Rabbah 21,5 mean that whenever the Torah mentions the word זאת, this occurs in connection with Israel fulfilling a commandment, such as the commandment of circumcision in Genesis 17,10 or the commandment of fulfilling the Torah in its entirety (Deut. 4,44), etc., etc. When the Torah uses the expression בזאת here, it emphasises that the measure of success Aaron (or any High Priest) may expect to accompany him on this Holy Day in his Holy Task are the “bundles” of commandments performed by the Israelites which he will “present” to the Lord on that occasion. The sacrificial offerings, are of course, included in the “bundles” of commandments as the word זאת here is followed by a list of these offerings. All of these “bundles” have one single destination, to be presented to the highest, the tenth of the emanations, to כתר on the way to Hashem.
