(Therefore, he sent the mincha, which was an elevation offering, to there) even though it contained unkosher animals, such as “young camels, etc.” and they were all still alive and not slaughtered.
For, since the light was infinite, there were not the same limits and precisely detailed laws.
For the Infinite One, Blessed is He, can do anything and manage everything, even unkosher and living animals that are offered, since there are no limits and constraints whatsoever that can be placed upon Him.
And, as our Sages taught (see Shelah on Parsha Chayei Sarah) regarding the pig, that in the future it will be transformed and become pure, referring to the Future Times when “death and impurity will be eternally consumed,” and then Hashem’s Essence will be fully revealed, to the extent that even a pig will be able to be elevated, unlike now.
Therefore, Yaakov, who sent this mincha offering – an elevation – to Eisav, i.e., to the Encompassing Light of Tohu that is infinite, he sent also unkosher animals.
Therefore, he sent also “nursing camels,” since not only was it not inappropriate, but moreover, the spiritual source and root of camels is very high, as the verse says (Bereishis 24:10) regarding Eliezer, the servant of Avraham, who took “ten camels from the camels of his master... and all the best of his master’s possessions were available to him in his hand.”
The Mittler Rebbe explains: The word “גָּמָּל-camel” is the same letters as the word “גוֹמֵל-give generously,” since the spiritual source of camels is from the level of Kindness, generous giving, of Tohu. The 10 camels that Eliezer brought reflected the 10 aspects of the Kindness of Tohu, and therefore were connected to “all the best of his master’s possessions.”
And this is the idea of what Dovid HaMelech says, that he calmed his soul “like a ‘גָּמוּ ל-suckling’ on its mother...”
Similarly, the word “גָּמָּל-camel” is related to the word ‘גָּמוּ ל-suckling.’ In a different version of the maamar (5565 vol. 1, p. 94) it explains in a few words that “this represents the idea of Encompassing Lights.” [Translator: possibly we can explain this as follows: The connection that a newborn baby has to its mother is a natural innate bond that is not connected to understanding, and not limited by understanding. This is different than an older child whose connection to his parents is also based on an awareness of his parents and their importance in his life. This type of connection, which is deeper than logic, is from the encompassing-makif levels of the soul. This represents the super-rational and unlimited encompassing Lights of Tohu.]
And all of this could only be accomplished by Yaakov prior to the Giving of the Torah.
However, we have already received the Torah from the level of Tikkun, and what is impure and forbidden by the Torah is distant and unable to become elevated at all, and “the soul will surely be cut off” by eating forbidden fats and other forbidden foods.
Therefore, we can only draw down the Lights of Tikkun by offering Korbanos as prescribed in the Torah. Any attempt to draw down the Light of Tohu through unkosher animals will only give additional life to unholiness. Only before the giving of the Torah was it possible to draw down the Lights of Tohu through offering unkosher animals etc.
