A Growing Person Is Always “Renewing” And Never Gets Old with Yi'ush

But then, there is a: שֶבַע יִּפֹול צַדִ יק וָקָם (Mishlei 24:16) Tzaddik who falls seven times, and yet gets up type, who never gives up, and never gets old. Ahron’s Mitzva was lighting the Menorah, which uses the Lashon of “Beha'aloscha” i.e. always going up and Shteiging. Every morning, he lights again the Neiros from scratch, and yesterday’s Neiros have nothing to do with todays.

This is perhaps the reason why Ahron’s מַטֶה staff blossomed with flowers and fruits. The שְקֵדִים almonds can symbolize the new Z'rizus that Ahron had every day. Indeed, Ahron did: תְנּופָה waiving by lifting 20,000 Levi'im in one day. This is his line: Lifting “up” and “growing”, and always “renewing” by starting again with new energy.

This is why during שִבְעַת יְמֵי מִלֻאִים the seven days of Milu’im Ahron had to bring a: ּפַר בֶן בָקָר (Tetzaveh 29:1) a “young” bull, i.e. a youthful, not yet old, ox [RSRH] since Ahron himself never gets old, and he never has Yi'ush. Indeed, in the very next Pesukim we have the Yidden saying again and again אָבַדְנּו כֻלָנּו אָבַדְנּו (17:27) we are afraid, all is lost! With this, they proved why only Ahron is Zoche, since he isn’t into Yi'ush like they are.
