879) It is written, “You shall sacrifice a burnt offering for a sweet savor to the Lord.” Concerning Passover, it is written, “You shall sacrifice an offering made by fire, a burnt offering to the Lord.” But here it is not written “by fire,” but rather “sacrifice a burnt offering.”
The Feast of Weeks is the day when the bride enters the Huppah [wedding canopy], when Malchut enters the Huppah with ZA. Israel have come from the count of the days of purification, days and weeks, and have been included and entered these days of purification, which are seven days, HGT NHYM, each with its own HGT NHYM, hence they are forty-nine days.
And she, Malchut, has fully emerged from the evil side and they no longer have a grip on her, and she has kept the days of purification properly—the forty-nine days of the count. This is the meaning of the king tasting the taste of a virgin, is as it is written, “A virgin, and no man had known her,” meaning that no man from the Sitra Achra had a grip on her.
This is why it is not written about it, “made by fire,” for no other had approached the tabernacle, Malchut, and the other side had already moved away from there. This is why there are no fires here, nor are they needed here because Israel have departed from the evil side.
The fires are judgment. And since here Malchut has already emerged from all the judgments in her, it is not written, “And you shall sacrifice a burnt offering, made by fire,” but simply, “And you shall sacrifice a burnt offering.”
880) Rabbi Shimon said, “I raised my hands to the one who has created the world, and I found that matter in the first books.” Fires are in the middle of the good and the bad. They come on this side and on that side because they clung to the tree of knowledge of good and evil, hence they became attached to the bad and attached to the good. For this reason, in the rest of the days it is written, “a burnt offering made by fire,” since there are judgments in them and a grip to the tree of knowledge of good and evil. But in those, when there is only the tree of life and none other, on Shavuot [Feast of Weeks], we do not need the fire and it need not be there.
That day of Shavuot is of the tree of life, and not of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This is why it is written, “You shall sacrifice a burnt offering for a sweet savor to the Lord,” and not “an offering made by fire, a burnt offering.” Ola [“burnt offering,” but also “rising’] means that it rises to the High one.
