Malbim (Melitzah): (a) Bnos of the body ask the Nefesh to explain the difference between this spiritual love that the Nefesh craves Elokim, and physical loves. Bnos ha'Geviyah do not sense this love and its dearness. (b) What is your Beloved's hidden essence - His descriptions, signs and attributes, that due to them you made us swear and you seek Him until death?
