                   “With this shall Aharon come into the                                       13 vaikra
                   Sanctuary: with a bull, a young male of cattle,                                                It says, “The whole world is filled with His glory.” This implies that the

                                                                 (Vayikra 16:3)                                   without permission? The Kodesh Hakodashim is distinct from the rest of
                                                                                                                  the world because the Shechinah is more concentrated there. Therefore,
                                                                                                                  one must exercise greater caution when entering it.

                                                                                                                  Aharon’s sons were also found guilty for lighting a fire in the holiest
                                                                                                                  location without permission. This teaches us that the world is conducted
                                                                                                                  according to Divine laws, and whoever attempts to interfere with the laws
                                                                                                                  of nature disrupts its balance and endangers himself and the entire world.

                                                                                                                  Why did Hashem instruct Moshe to warn Aharon not to enter the Kodesh

                                                                                                                  consider doing so, especially after his two sons had died due to this
                                                                                                                  transgression. We can resolve this difficulty by analyzing a similar issue,
                                                                                                                  regarding the purification process of the metzora. Why was the metzora
                                                                                                                  obligated to offer such an expensive korban, which included two
