ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף איכה 5:21

Draw me we will run after you. I heard from your messengers a hint that you said to draw me, and I said, “We will run after you,” to be as a wife to you.¹⁶Alternatively, You initiate, by drawing us after You and to return to You as it is stated, “Bring us to You Adonoy and we will return,” in Eichah 5:21.

“And they shall put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel.” And Moses changed the order and said, And you shall touch it to the lintel and to the two doorposts. According to the midrashic approach (Eichah Rabbah 5:21), we can say that they said that the Holy One, blessed be He, said to Israel (Malachi 3:7), Return to Me first, and afterward I will return to you. And the congregation of Israel responds, “I do not have the strength to return first; rather, You be the one who initiates,” as it is said (Lamentations 5:21), Return us, O Lord, to You, and afterward, and we will return.
In this way, it can be interpreted that the lintel [mashkof] represents the Holy One, blessed be He, who is above all, as it is said (Psalms 102:20), For He looked down [hishkif] from His holy height. And the two doorposts that support the lintel represent the merit of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs, as it is written (Deuteronomy 33:27), The eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. For the Patriarchs are beneath the Divine Chariot, and they are the arms of the world [such that the lintels would represent the arms].
Therefore, the Holy One, blessed be He, said, as one who gives honor to those who fear Him, And they shall put it on the two doorposts first, and afterward on the lintel, suggesting that the righteous descendants of the Patriarchs and Matriarchs should be the ones to initiate. But Moses said, And you shall touch it to the lintel first, because we do not have the strength to initiate.

This is the burnt-offering of each Chodesh, at its renewal. This is related to the aspect of, “Renew our days as of old” (Eichah 5:21). This is the opposite of the old. Constant burnt- offerings purchased from the contributions collected in the current year may not be brought in the following year. Each year the constant offerings were brought from the money of new contributions, as in the days in the Wilderness, on Rosh Chodesh Nisan.
