עַל־מִשְׁכָּבִי֙ בַּלֵּיל֔וֹת בִּקַּ֕שְׁתִּי אֵ֥ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֖ה נַפְשִׁ֑י בִּקַּשְׁתִּ֖יו וְלֹ֥א מְצָאתִֽיו׃
Na łożu mojem w nocy szukałam tego, którego umiłowała dusza moja; szukałam go, alem go nie znalazła.
Zohar
"And Ad-nai said to Moshe: a woman that gives seed and births a male etc" - Rabbi Eleazar began with this verse: 'on my bed, at night, I searched [for the one my soul desires, I searched but haven't found him]' (Songs 3:1). The text should read 'in my bed', what is 'on my bed'? The congregation of Israel asked the Holy One of Blessing regarding the exile since she sits among the peoples with her children, and lies down in the dust, and because she lies on the ground she has become unfit to offer sacrifices, she said 'on my bed I consider that I feel sick in exile, and regarding this 'I asked [for] the One that my soul loves' and I will not restrain myself from Him.
