As I read through this Parashas

This is the 26^th Parashas in the Torah Cycle, and Shemini is the Aramaic word mean eighth. The number eight is also the numerical value of the Aramaic word for circumcision, which also has a direct spiritual connection to understanding.

A connection to Binah understanding helps us to internalize the information we constantly absorb during the day and convert into knowledge that understands with our heart, not just our head.

It is the kind of understanding that we need to achieve to be able to connect to the light and to help others do so as well.

 At the end of Parashas Tzav, Aaron and his sons, the Mighty Hand of Elohim were instructed to remain in the Tent of Meeting for seven full days while Moses preformed the inauguration service, which began on the twenty third day Adar.

Each day for seven days Moses performed the entire service himself. The inauguration period climaxed with the consecration of Aaron and his sons as Kohanim on the eight-day, the day of new beginning. From that day onward, only the Kohanim were eligible to perform the Tabernacle Service.

This chapter begins on the first day of the first month, the month of Nissan, the eight day of the inauguration service. On that day, the Tabernacle was erected permanently and the Kohanim assumed their new role. This Parashas describe the special service the newly consecrated Kohanim performed on the day they achieved their new status.

Lev 9:1 And on the eighth day it came to be that Mosheh called Aharon and his sons and the elders of Yisra’ĕl. – The first month the month of Aries, the first sign of the Zodiac, control all 12 signs. The nature of all vessels is the Desire to receive. Desire in and of itself is not negative. It is what we do with it, whether we share or whether we are selfish that is what matter.

The constellation of Aries, which activate our desire to receive for the self alone. We need to be aware, however, that even acts of sharing can come out of a selfish heart. This is why it is so important to reflect constantly on our motives when sharing with others.

On the eighth day, the day of new beginning, Moses sadly called Aaron and his sons along with the elders, and reminded them why the Tabernacle was build; the sin of the Golden Calf had far reaching result.

The Hebrew word () a word that is often used to indicate what trouble or grief is associated with the narrative. What sadness could there be on the first day of the year? Except for the realization that the Children of Yisrael had lost a glorious opportunity to be the Tabernacle of the Shekinah instead, a structure had to be built in place of them.

Lev 9:2 and he said to Aharon, “Take for yourself a young bull as a sin offering and a ram as a burnt offering, a perfect one, and bring them before יהוה. Before you and your son go before EL YAHWEH, you must bring a young bull, the highest form of sacrifice. We know today that, that bull was a representation of El Yahushua our Messiyah. He was, He is, and He will always be our sin offering and our burnt offering. No man goes to the Father except Thought Him.

The discussion of the sacrifices here teaches us that personal sacrifice is needed to connect to the power of the light. We have to give up momentary pleasure to gain eternal fulfillment.

Lev 9:3 “And speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘Take a male goat as a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb, both a year old, perfect ones, as a burnt offering, - We also know that Aaron and his sons are in the Holy of Holies spiritually, they are require to bring the Bull offering. The ordinary people the nation of Yisrael as a whole in a holy people, they too dwells in the Holy Place spiritually, they must bring a lamb or a calf, which also had to be perfect.

Lev 9:4 and a bull and a ram as peace offerings, to slaughter before יהוה , and a grain offering mixed with oil. For today יהוה  shall appear to you. – The priesthood and the set apart people, the nation of Yisrael, must bring their offering daily. They must bring their peace offering, their grain offering mixed with the anointing, the Holy Spirit, for EL YAHWEH require to meet with us every day.
