חִכּוֹ֙ מַֽמְתַקִּ֔ים וְכֻלּ֖וֹ מַחֲּמַדִּ֑ים זֶ֤ה דוֹדִי֙ וְזֶ֣ה רֵעִ֔י בְּנ֖וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
입은 심히 다니 그 전체가 사랑스럽구나 예루살렘 여자들아 이는 나의 사랑하는 자요 나의 친구일다
Rashi
This is my beloved. This is the likeness of my beloved, and this is the likeness of my friend, and because of all these [attributes] I have become sick for his love. The allegorical meaning, regarding the Holy One, Blessed Is He, is as follows:
Rashi
My beloved is pure white. And white, [anxious] to whiten my iniquities. [He is] clear and white, when He appeared at Sinai, He appeared as an old man, teaching instructions, and similarly, when He sits in judgment, “His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like clean wool.”50Doniyeil 7:9.
Rashi
And ruddy. To exact punishment from His enemies, as the matter is stated, “Why is Your clothing red?”51Yeshayahu 63:2.
Rashi
Surrounded by myriads. Many armies52I.e., angels, as it is written “a thousand thousands served Him, and myriad myriads stood before Him,” in Daniyeil 7:10. (Metzudas Dovid) surround Him.
Rashi
His locks hang. Upon every point [=קוֹץ are heaps [=תִּלִּים and heaps of laws.55See Maseches Eruvin 21b.
Rashi
His head is [like] finest gold. The beginning of His words shone like finest gold, and similarly it says, “The introduction of Your words illuminates.”53Tehillim 119:130. He began, “I am Adonoy your God.”54Shemos 20:2. He showed them first that He has the right of sovereignty over them, and He then issued His decrees upon them.
Rashi
They are raven-black. Because it [the Torah] was written before Him in black fire on white fire.56See Rashi Devarim 33:2. Another explanation, “His locks hang,” when He appeared on the sea, He appeared like a young man mightily waging war.
Rashi
His eyes are like doves upon brooks of water. Like doves, whose eyes gaze toward their windows, so His eyes [gaze] upon the synagogues and study halls, for over there are the sources of Torah, which is compared to water.57See Maseches Bava Kama 17a.
Rashi
Bathed in milk. When they look into the judgment, they clarify the law truthfully, to justify the just, to give him what he deserves, and to condemn the guilty, to repay his [evil] way upon his head.
