Midrash sa Awit ng mga Awit 8:13: Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition), Shir HaShirim Rabbah & Midrash Tehillim

Rabba said in the name of R. Jochanan: "The Holy One, praised be He! will make a banquet for the upright from the flesh of the leviathan, as it is said (Ib. 40, 30) Yichru alav Chaverim; yichiu means a banquet, as it is said (II Kings 23) And he prepared (Vayichrch) for them a great meal. Chaverim means scholars, as it is said (Songs 8, 13) Companions (Chaverim) listen for thy voice, etc. And the remainder of it will be cut in pieces, and be sold in the markets of Jerusalem, as it is said (Job 40, 30) Divide him among merchants."

(Fol. 63a) R. Cahana said: "When I was about eighteen years old, I was well versed in the whole Talmud, and did not know until now that a (Biblical) passage cannot be taken out of its literal sense." What does he intend to inform us by this statement? That a man must first study the whole Torah and then reason upon it.R. Jeremiah in the name of R. Elazar said: "The Holy One, praised be He! will cause to prosper two scholars who [argue the law in order to] sharpen each other's mind in the law, as is said (Ps. 45, 45.) And thy majesty. Do not read it Vehadarcha (majesty) but read it Vechadadcha (thy sharpness). Moreover they will rise to distinction, for it is said further (Ib. ib.) Be prosperous ride long. One might say that this would be the case even if one studies the Torah, not for its own sake; therefore the passage says further (Ib. ib. 5) For the cause of truth. One might say that this would include, even those who become arrogant and proud. It says further (Ib. ib. ib.) And meekness and righteousness. And if they do so, they will be privileged to [the clear knowledge of] the Torah. which was given with the right hand [of God], as it is stated (Ib. ib. ib.) And fearful things shall thy right hand teach. R. Nachman b. Isaac said. "They will be privileged to the things which were said [to be in the possession of] the right hand of the Torah; for Raba b. Shila, and according to some, R. Joseph b. Chama in the name of R. Shesheth said: "What is meant by that which is written (Pr. 3, 16.) Length of days is in her right hand; in her left are riches and honor. Is it possible that in her right hand is only length of days and not riches and honor? But it is intended thus: for those who study the Torah in the right way (for her sake) there is longevity and as a matter of course riches and honor, but for those who study the Torah in the wrong way (for their own sake) riches and honor may be given to them but not longevity.'" R. Jeremiah in the name of R. Simon b. Lakish said: "The Holy One, praised be He, hearken to two scholars who quietly discourse an Halacha (Law) between themselves, as it is said (Mal. 3, 10.) Then conversed (nidbcru) they that feared the Lord, one with the other, etc., and Dibbur applies to a modest conversation, for it is said (Ps. (47, 4.) He will lead (Yadber) people under us." What means And for those who thought of His name (Mal. 3, 10)? R. Ami said: "When one only intended to fulfill a commandment, but was accidentally prevented and could not accomplish it, the Scripture credits him as if he had actually observed it." R. Chanina b. Ide said: "Whoever executes a divine command as it has been ordained, will not be the recipient of bad tidings, for it is said (Ecc. 8, 5.) Whose keepeth the commandments will experience no evil things." R. Assi, or, as some say, R. Chanina, said: "Even if the Holy One, praised be He! has already decreed an evil dispensation [against such a man], He will annul it; as it is said (Ib. ib. 4.) Because the words of a king are powerful, and who may say unto Him 'What doest thou do?' And after it follows: Whoso keepeth the commandment will experience no evil thing." R. Abba in the name of R. Simon b. Lakish said: "The Holy One, praised be He! hearkeneth to the voices of two scholars who patiently listen to each other in discussions of the Halacha (Law), as it is said (Songs 8, 13.) Thou that dwelleth in the gardens, thy companions listen for thy voice; Oh, let me hear it. But if they do not do so, they will cause the Shechina to depart from Israel, as it is said (Ib. ib. 14.) Flee away my friend." etc. R. Abba in name of R. Simon b. Lakish said: "Two scholars who discuss the Halacha (Law) with modesty will deserve the love of the Holy One, praised be He! as it is said (Ib. 2, 4.) And His banner of love is waving over me," Raba said: This implies only when they possess some knowledge of the law and also when there is no teacher in the town from whom to learn."'

“The one who dwells in the gardens, companions listen to your voice; let me hear it” (Song of Songs 8:13).
“The one who dwells in the gardens, companions listen to your voice; let me hear it” – Rabbi Natan said in the name of Rabbi Aḥa: [This is analogous] to a king who became angry at his servants and incarcerated them in prison cells. What did the king do? He took all of his royal guard and his [other] servants, and they went to hear what they would say. He heard that they were saying: ‘Our lord the king is our praise, he is our life. Let us never lack our lord the king.’ He said to them: ‘My children, raise your voice so that your counterparts who are near you will hear.’ So too, even though Israel are occupied in their labor all six days, on the Shabbat day they rise early, come to the synagogue, recite Shema, pass before the ark,⁵⁶The prayer leader stands before the ark and recites the communal portion of the prayer service. read the Torah, and recite the haftara. The Holy One blessed be He says to them: ‘My children, raise your voice so that the companions who are near you will hear.’ These companions are none other than the ministering angels. And make certain not to hate one another, not to be jealous of one another, not to provoke one another, and not to shame one another, so that the ministering angels will not say before Me: The Torah that You gave to Israel, they do not engage in it; behold, there is enmity, jealousy, hatred, and rivalry between them. Rather, fulfill it in peace.’ Bar Kappara said: Why did He call the ministering angels companions? Because there is no enmity, jealousy, hatred, rivalry, heresy, and divisive words between them.
