1. It is written, \u201cI opened for my beloved, but my beloved had turned away and was gone. My soul came out when he spoke. I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he did not answer me.\u201d It is also written, \u201cI am asleep and my heart is awake; the voice of my beloved knocks, \u2018Open to me, my sister, my wife.\u2019\u201d The assembly of Israel said \u201cI am asleep.\u201d \u201cI am asleep,\u201d from the commandments of the Torah while I was walking in the desert. \u201cAnd my heart is awake\u201d to bring them to the land, to make rules for them, since all the commandments in the Torah are in the land. \u201cThe voice of my beloved knocks\u201d is Moses, who reproved Israel in several arguments, in several quarrels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Although Moses reproved Israel, all his words were with love, as it is written, \u201cFor you are a holy nation to the Lord your God, and the Lord your God has chosen you to be his virtuous people.\u201d It is also written, \u201cYou are the children of the Lord your God.\u201d \u201cAnd you, who adhere to the Lord, are alive every one of you today.\u201d Hence, \u201cAnd you shall obey the voice of the Lord your God.\u201d \u201cSince from the Lord\u2019s love for you, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand.\u201d This is as it is written, \u201cOpen to me, my sister, my bride,\u201d affectionately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. It is written, \u201cI arose to open to my beloved.\u201d Israel said, \u201cWhile we were ready to enter the land and assume the commandments of the Torah through Moses, it is written, \u201cAnd my beloved had turned away and was gone,\u201d as it is written, \u201cAnd Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there.\u201d \u201cI sought him, but I could not find him,\u201d as it is written, \u201cNo prophet such as Moses has arisen in Israel.\u201d \u201cI called him, but he did not answer me,\u201d meaning that there has never been a generation like the generation of Moses, whose voice the Creator heard and made miracles and laws for them as He did through him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. \u201cI arose to open to my beloved\u201d is the Creator in Moses\u2019 days, who wanted all his life not to be led by an angel and a messenger, as it is written, \u201cIf Your face does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.\u201d Happy is Moses that the Creator agreed to his will. \u201cAnd my beloved had turned away and was gone,\u201d in the days of Joshua, as it is written, \u201cI am the commander of the army of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Moses was hearing the holy voice of the upper king and was not shocked. It is much more so with the angel, that Moses did not want to accept him. After he died, it is written, \u201cAnd he said, \u2018No, for I am the commander of the army of the Lord; now I have come.\u2019 And Joshua fell on his face to the earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow I have come,\u201d I came in the days of Moses your teacher but I was not accepted. At that time, Israel knew Moses\u2019 merit. At that time, Israel sought the Creator, but He did not make Himself available, as in the days of Moses. This is \u201cI sought him but could not find him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
