Comentário sobre Cantares 2:17
עַ֤ד שֶׁיָּפ֙וּחַ֙ הַיּ֔וֹם וְנָ֖סוּ הַצְּלָלִ֑ים סֹב֩ דְּמֵה־לְךָ֨ דוֹדִ֜י לִצְבִ֗י א֛וֹ לְעֹ֥פֶר הָאַיָּלִ֖ים עַל־הָ֥רֵי בָֽתֶר׃ (ס)
Antes que refresque o dia, e fujam as sombras, volta, amado meu, e faze-te semelhante ao gamo ou ao filho dos veados sobre os montes de Beter.

Rashi on Song of Songs
And the shadows flee. We sinned with the [golden] calf; we sinned with the spies, “and the shadows flee,” [i.e.,] the merits that protected us [disappeared because] we broke off His yoke.

And the shadows flee: Our Sages said in the Midrash to the Song of Songs: “These are the celestial princes of the nations and their angels.”82The source of this quotation is unknown. Compare Nahmanides’ commentary to Numbers 14:9. This is the true interpretation of the verse: “their protection has departed from them” [Num. 14:9] as I have interpreted the verse “I delight to sit in his shade” [Cant. 2:3].

Distant. An expression of separation and distance.41Alternatively, הרי בתר means split mountain and is referring to the Mount of Olives which will be split as per the prophecy of Zecharyah [14:4]. Thus, the meaning of בתר is similar to “he split [ויבתר] them up in the center,” in Bereishis 15:10.
