Whereas the Gentiles [...]

The Shem Mโ€™Shmuel points out that this mitzvah is highly unusual, for this is a mitzvah of preparation. The main mitzvah is to bring the Korbon [...]

Chazal tell us that Moshe Rabbeinu did not go into the Ohel Moed until invited to by Hashem Himself. In fact, had he gone in without an invitation, it would be lacking in common sense to the point that we would say about Moshe that โ€œa carcass of an animal is better than an astute [...]
