פָּתַ֤חְתִּֽי אֲנִי֙ לְדוֹדִ֔י וְדוֹדִ֖י חָמַ֣ק עָבָ֑ר נַפְשִׁי֙ יָֽצְאָ֣ה בְדַבְּר֔וֹ בִּקַּשְׁתִּ֙יהוּ֙ וְלֹ֣א מְצָאתִ֔יהוּ קְרָאתִ֖יו וְלֹ֥א עָנָֽנִי׃
איך האָב געעפֿנט מײַן געליבטן, אָבער מײַן געליבטער איז פֿאַרשװוּנדן, אַװעק – מײַן זעל איז אױסגעגאַנגען װען ער האָט גערעדט צו מיר – איך האָב אים געזוכט, און האָב אים ניט געפֿונען, איך האָב אים גערופֿן, און ער האָט מיר ניט געענטפֿערט.
Shabbat
And Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: With every single utterance that came out of the mouth of the Holy One, Blessed Be He, the souls of Israel departed, as it is stated: (Song of Songs 5:6) "My soul departed because of what he said." And after their souls departed from the first utterance, how could they receive the second? He caused the dew to descend that will, in the future, revive the dead. And he revived them, as it is stated: (Psalms 68:10) "You released a bountiful rain, God. When Your own land languished, You sustained it." And Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi said: Every single utterance that came out of the mouth of the Holy One, Blessed Be He, Israel withdrew 12 mil and the ministering angels walked them [back]. As it is stated, (Psalms 68:13) "Kings of hosts will wander." Do not read "yidodun" [wander], rather "yedadun" [walked them].
