Hebrew · Midrash Rabbah (Hebrew, Torat Emet)
מְצָאוּנִי הַשֹּׁמְרִים הַסֹּבְבִים, זֶה שִׁבְטוֹ שֶׁל לֵוִי, הֵיאַךְ מָה דְאַתְּ אֲמַרְתְּ (שמות לב, כז): עִבְרוּ וָשׁוּבוּ מִשַּׁעַר לָשַׁעַר. אֵת שֶׁאָהֲבָה נַפְשִׁי, זֶה משֶׁה.

“The watchmen who patrol the city found me: Have you seen the one whom my soul loves?” (Song of Songs 3:3). “The watchmen who patrol,” this is the tribe of Levi, just as it says: “Pass back and forth from gate to gate” (Exodus 32:27). “The one whom my soul loves,” this is Moses.
