L’Éternel parla à Moïse, après la mort des deux fils d’Aaron, qui, s’étant avancés devant l’Éternel, avaient péri,
Rashi
'וידבר ה' אל משה אחרי מות שני בני אהרן וגו AND THE LORD SPOKE UNTO MOSES AFTER THE DEATH OF THE TWO SONS OF AARON etc. —What is this statement intended to tell us? (i. e. why is it at all stated when God spoke this to Moses?) Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah illustrated this by a parable: It may be compared to the case of a sick person whom the physician visited. He (the physician) said to him: “Do not eat cold things nor sleep in a damp place!" Another physician came and said to him: “Do not eat cold things, nor sleep in a damp place so that thou mayest not die as Mr. So-and-so died!" Certainly this (the latter) put him on his guard more than the former; that is why Scripture states “after the death of the two sons of Aaron" (Sifra, Acharei Mot, Section 1 3).
Alshekh
With this. The Divine Presence enters together with him as he dons the spirit of prophecy. However, not every Kohein Godol sees it, as did Shimon HaTzaddik (Vayikro Rabbah 21:9).
Alshekh
With a young bullock … and a ram… The Sages said that the young bullock represents the merit of Avraham … that protects the Kohein Godol when he enters … Afterwards the merit of Yitzchak’s ram will stand up for us.
