Three Oaths I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles, and by the hinds of the field, [that ye awaken not, nor stir up love, until it please] (Song of Songs 2:7, 3:5; 5:8 is similar) As interpreted in Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Kethuboth, 111a: One, that Israel shall not go up [all together as if surrounded] by a wall; Second, that whereby the Holy One, blessed be He, adjured Israel that they shall not rebel against the nations of the world; Third is that whereby the Holy One, blessed be He, adjured the idolaters that they shall not oppress Israel too much.
