(For example, someone who cooked on the Sabbath, but didn't realize it is forbidden, or he ate what he thought was a kosher piece of meat but it was a non-kosher fat.) Were someone to know it was forbidden and do it anyway, there is no sacrifice brought. Rashi quotes our Sages who say, “Fortunate is the generation whose leader puts his heart to atoning for his inadvertent sins, and he will surely repent from his intentional ones.” Judaism doesn’t believe in infallibility. Perhaps, when Hashem called to Moshe with a booming voice that emanated from the Holy of Holies but stopped at the entrance of the tent, He was teaching us that He refuses to be defined by human intellect. I’d like to suggest that the Torah is hinting to something we need to know in our questions to become closer to G-d through korbanos, the sacrifices whose Hebrew root is KAROV, meaning close. They decide that things should be a certain way because that’s how THEY feel, without taking into account that Hashem doesn’t make mistakes and what He dictates is how they should be. As one friend puts it, “I’m used to being wrong; I’m married!” Indeed, being able to look at this in a light and humorous way, one is able to acknowledge that he can make mistakes. Only if you are humble enough, like Moses, to allow Me to run the show, will I make Myself known to you.” This is the purpose of all the korbanos, to create a closeness to Hashem. The requirement to put salt on korbanos teaches us a lesson not just for Temple service, but for any mitzvos we do, all of which are part of building our relationship with HaShem. “If a man shall offer, from you, a sacrifice to Hashem…” (Vayikra 1:2) The commentaries ask why the word used for man here is, “Adam,” and not “Ish,” which also means man. Therefore, when it speaks of korbanos, the Torah uses the term Adam, one who seeks to give and provide for others, and not Ish, one who seeks to take for himself.
