Midrasch zu Schemot 30:11

With reference to the portion Shekalim, Moses had said to the Holy One, blessed be He: Master of the Universe, when I die I shall not be remembered. The Holy One, blessed be He, replied: Be assured that just as you stand here now, giving them the portion containing Shekalim, thereby lifting their heads upright,⁶Lifting up the head signifies to be forgiven. every year when they read it before Me, it will be as though you were standing in that place and lifting their heads upright. How do we know this? From what they shall read concerning this matter in the verse And the Lord spoke to Moses saying: “When thou liftest up the head of the children of Israel” (Exod. 30:11). “Lift up the head” is not said, but rather when thou liftest up.⁷The future tense of the word “lifting” is used: “they will be forgiven.”
