아가 4:6의 주석

Until the sun spreads. Until the sun spreads.

When the day blows gently: This refers to the removal of the sovereignty of the nations.

And the shadows flee. That is the time of intense heat, the hottest time of the day. I will save you, and you are pleasant to me.

And the shadows flee; As we have explained.

The sun. הַיּוֹם here means] “the sun,”⁴⁷Usually it means “the day.” and similarly, “in the direction of the sun הַיּוֹם,”⁴⁸Bereishis 3:8. and similarly, “for behold, the sun הַיּוֹם comes, burning like a furnace,”⁴⁹Malachi 3:19. and once the sun has spread, “I will go to Mount Moriyah,” into the eternal Temple, [from] Bereishis Rabbah,⁵⁰Bereishis Rabbah 55:7. i.e., from when they sinned before Me by profaning My sacred offerings and by spurning My meal offerings in the days of Chofni and Pinchas.⁵¹See I Shmuel 2:12-17. I will leave you and I will abandon this Tabernacle, and I will choose for Myself Mount Moriyah, into the eternal Temple. And there, “you are completely beautiful ... and you are without blemish,”⁵²Below Verse 7. and there I will accept all your sacrifices.

I will betake myself to the mountain of myrrh: This is Jerusalem, as it is written: “In Jerusalem which is upon Mt. Moriah” [II Chron. 3:1].

To the hill of frankincense: This is Mt. Zion. Jerusalem is compared to myrrh which is red, referring to the attribute of justice, as it says: “Within her righteousness dwells” [Isa. 1:21]. Mt. Zion is compared to a hill of frankincense, the attribute of compassion. This verse refers to the time when Israel acts in accordance with rectitude, in accord to justice and the Torah. The shekhinah was lovely, beautified by the Holy Spirit. Indeed, over all the glory hangs a canopy and crown. In contrast to this, she is like a bird wandering from her nest, departing her house and kingdom, as it states: “A son who causes shame and disgrace, plunders his father, puts his mother to flight” [Prov. 19:26].
