Rashi, on Song 3:1

“In my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, and found him not.”

“On my bed at night when I was troubled; when I sat in the dark for the entire thirty-eight years that the Israelites were under reproach. I sought him but I did not find him (Exod. 33:3): “For I shall not go up in your midst”; (Deut. 1:42): “for I am not in your midst.””
