Portion ZHav
Sacrifices in the seven days of consecration
After completion of the making of the Tabernacle and its foundation was training to work. This is being done for seven days - seven days of consecration. Every one of those days brought Aaron "an ox for forgiveness." What of the "an ox for forgiveness" seven days of the consecration and what sin was Aaron should bring? The Sages explain (and Rashi cites it in his commentary on Portion Tetzaveh) that the ox is intended "to atone for the golden calf, which is a ox."
Past seven days of consecration, and was the eighth day, special day, which served the Divine Presence in the Tabernacle. Even on this day Aaron was commanded to sacrifice, 'sacrifice for forgiveness ' - "Take a calf, calf for forgiveness ". What this sacrifice's interest? Rashi explains that the sacrifice is related to the sin of the golden calf: "inform, by a calf that G-d redeems the golden calf he did." But, after Aaron had sacrificed ' forgiveness sacrifices' seven days of consecration to atone for the sin of the calf!
When the exact language of Rashi is a clear difference between the sacrifices in the seven days of consecration to sacrifice on the eighth day the seven days of consecration intended the sacrifice "to atone for the golden calf," while on the eighth day was the purpose of the sacrifice "to inform that G-d had forgive". Follows from this that there are two types of sacrifices.
Alter Rebbe explains in a 'letter of repentance', a person who does repentance for his sin; the sin requires two types of atonement. One is a request for forgiveness of sin; G-d will atone for his sin and forgive the rebellion against the king all kings. Then one type is required atonement - "will be before the Lord, G-d is happy and friendly as before the sin".
Presented there govern; a man sinned against the king, and then asked him for forgiveness and pardon, and the king accepted the apology and gave up on the punishment. But even that sin is forgiven, still remained the residue of sin, and man's relationship with the King did not return to be the same. So he sends a "gift to him, he would agree to see the King."
That those two types of sacrifices Aaron had made. Seven days of consecration sacrificed an ox for a sin offering to G-d's forgiveness to the golden calf; but on the eighth day the sacrifice intended to be a "gift" designed to "Pleasure G-d." So say the sacrifice's interest is "to inform God atoned for Aaron," that sacrifice is not intended to operate the atonement, but to discover and inform.
This matter related to the essence work during the seven days of consecration, and on the eighth day the seven days of consecration was working to bring down divine lights that have some relation to creation, and that is where human work can act of atonement. But on the eighth day shone most supreme divine revelation, no man can bring it to work. So work on that day was just to pleasure - the spirit of G-d.
However, even the supreme revelation, descending from the lower world will require preparation. This was the essence of the work of Aaron on the eighth day, that by his work that "will be Divine Presence in you."
