“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
for a sin-offering, and a ram for an Shechinah of Hashem is found everywhere. Since this is so, why were
olah-offering” Aharon’s sons held accountable for entering the Kodesh Hakodashim
(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
Hakodashim without specific permission? Surely, Aharon would never
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
unblemished male lambs and one unblemished ewe in its first year, etc.?
What could a person do if he was not able to afford it?
