Song of Songs 4:11 Commentary: Rashi & Ezra ben Solomon

נֹ֛פֶת תִּטֹּ֥פְנָה שִׂפְתוֹתַ֖יִךְ כַּלָּ֑ה דְּבַ֤שׁ וְחָלָב֙ תַּ֣חַת לְשׁוֹנֵ֔ךְ וְרֵ֥יחַ שַׂלְמֹתַ֖יִךְ כְּרֵ֥יחַ לְבָנֽוֹן׃ (ס)

Thy lips, O my bride, drop honey— Honey and milk are under thy tongue; And the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

Rashi on Song of Songs

Honey. [Which is] sweet.

Ezra ben Solomon on Song of Songs

Honey and milk: The allusion is to the two modalities of Torah (written and oral) and the fact that the shekhinah is situated between the two cherubim.
