Katz, Shlomo - The Turtledove

Therefore, the bridegroom’s friends gave this advice: “If you do not know
yourself, beautiful one among women, go in the footsteps of the flocks and feed your
kids by the shepherds’ tents.” [SoS 1:8]. What does this mean? The person
ignorant of himself leaves the flocks of sheep and feeds with the goats whom Christ
has rejected at his left hand [Matt. 25.33]. Thus the good shepherd places the sheep
at his right: He separates the goats from the better herd and places them on the left.
We thus learn from the bridegroom’s friends that we must be attentive to the very
nature of things and not miss the truth by erring steps.
