FRAGMENTS IN THE COMMENTARY ON THE SONG OF SONGS 7:10 (444)
I will offer my beloved praise, and his turning will be toward me. What it calls his turning is either the second advent or the conversion of the Jewish people.
I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me - It is worthy of remark that the word which we translate his desire is the very same used Gen 3:16: Thy desire, thy ruling appetite, תשוקתך teshukathech, shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. This was a part of the woman’s curse. Now here it seems to be reversed; for the bride says, I am my beloved’s, and his desire or ruling appetite and affection, תשוקתו teshukatho, is עלי ali, Upon Me.
