Шир ха-ширим 2:5 Комментарий: Rashi & Ezra ben Solomon

Sustain me. Now, as is the manner of [treating] the sick, with flagons of grape wine or with cakes of pure flour.

Sustain me with raisin cakes: A figure of great pleasure. Raisin cakes [ashishot] are those entities which are the foundations [ashyot] of the worlds above and below.

Refresh my bed. Spread my bed around me with apples for a good fragrance, in the manner of [treating] the sick, for I am sick for His love, for I thirst for Him here in my exile. “רְפִידָה” is an expression of a couch, as in, “where he lies יִרְפַּד on jagged rocks as if upon mud.”⁸Iyov 41:22.
