Cantico dei cantici 5:8 Commento: Rashi & Ezra ben Solomon

I bind you under oath. The nations, Nevuchadnetzar’s men, who saw Chananyah, Misha’eil, and Azaryah submit themselves to the fiery furnace,³³See Daniyeil 3:20-23. and Doniyeil to the lions’ den³⁴See Ibid. 6:17-18. because of prayer, and Mordechai’s generation in the days of Haman.

I adjure you O maidens of Jerusalem! All this is a parable concerning the ascent of the Glory, and the shekhinah complaining bitterly about his departure.

When you find my beloved. In the future, on the Day of Judgement, when it will be requested of you to testify about me, as the matter is stated, “Let them present their witnesses, and they will be vindicated.”³⁵Yeshayahu 43:9. See Maseches Avodah Zarah 3a.

What will you tell him. You will testify on my behalf that because of love for Him, I suffered harsh afflictions among you. Let Nevuchadnetzar come and testify, let Eliphaz and Tzophar and all the prophets of the nations come and testify about me that I fulfilled the Torah.
