Sinai as Wedding Day and Jerusalem as the Heart's Joy

Midrash Tanchuma Buber, Pekudei 8:4

Curated by Arthur·Translated by Maggid (Beta)·

Another interpretation of (Song of Songs 3:11) "on the day of his wedding": at Sinai. "And on the day of the gladness of his heart": in Jerusalem. David said (Psalms 48:3), "Fair in situation, the joy of the whole earth, etc." Like this fig, which is narrow below and wide above, as it is said (Ezekiel 41:7), "And it widened, and wound around higher and higher, etc."
