Avraham Avinu hurried to fulfill Hashem’s command to sacrifice his son. vaikra 3 # 26347-EYAL-6
When Hashem observed his immense joy in fulfilling His will, He ordered
a ram to be brought as an olah-offering instead of Yitzchak. It states, “And
the two of them went together.” This implies that Yitzchak was just as
willing and joyful to fulfill Hashem’s command as his father.
The word is comprised of the word (command) and the letters
, which have the same numerical value as – man. This signifies
that the purpose of the creation of man is to perform mitzvot swiftly and
with joy.
By overcoming one’s passions in order to fulfill Hashem’s bidding, one
is in essence sacrificing a korban olah for Hashem. The greater the
difficulty, the more worthy is his sacrifice. Those who endeavor to
succeed amidst adversity will realize that “a person who comes to purify
himself receives Divine assistance.”

“Hashem spoke to Moshe, saying: Command
Aharon and his sons, saying: This is the law of
the olah-offering: It is the olah-offering [that

stays] on the flame, on the Mizbeach, all night
until the morning, and the fire of the Mizbeach
shallbekeptaflameonit”
(Vayikra 6:1-2)
