his shirah was not said with the fervent emotion befitting such a great
miracle, which would be expected from one of his stature. From this
account we learn how important it is to fully express gratitude to
Hashem.
In the future, all korbanot will be abolished except for the korban todah.
It would seem that a one-time korban as a token of gratitude to thank
Hashem for bringing the final redemption would suffice. Why then will
the sacrifice of this korban continue ceaselessly? This is because the
korban todah arouses feelings of awe for Hashem’s miracles. Therefore
there is a need to sacrifice a korban todah each time we experience
Hashem’s benevolence. This will arouse us to adequately express our
gratitude for Hashem’s continuous supervision.
We must learn how to acquire the virtue of adequately acknowledging
favors. The words “Command Aharon,” which imply urging on to
sacrifice the korban olah without delay, teach us an important lesson. The
“Hashem spoke to Moshe, saying: Command Torah understands the psyche of man and acknowledges that although the
Aharon and his sons, saying: This is the law of Kohen received priestly gifts from other korbanot, he might nevertheless
the olah-offering: It is the olah-offering [that have neglected to sacrifice this korban because it did not gain him any
stays] on the flame, on the Mizbeach, all night profit. Therefore, the Torah urged him to sacrifice it immediately. From
until the morning, and the fire of the Mizbeach this we learn that acting with alacrity counters laziness, which is rooted in
shallbekeptaflame” lack of gratitude.
