לשדרג את הגוף!
וּבַיּוֹם, הַשְּׁמִינִי, יִמּוֹל, בְּשַׂר עָרְלָתוֹ (ויקרא י"ב ג') המדרש מציין שהביטוי "ביום השמיני" מתייחס בפסוק זה לברית מילה. למרות זאת, כמעט אותו ביטוי נמצא בפרשת אמור (כ"ב:כ"ז) ביחס לאילו בהמות מותרות להביא כקרבן "ומיום השמיני..." השוואה אחרת בין בני אדם לבהמות נמצאת בספר קהלת (ג':י"ט) "כִּי מִקְרֶה בְנֵי-הָאָדָם וּמִקְרֶה הַבְּהֵמָה, וּמִקְרֶה אֶחָד לָהֶם ... וּמוֹתַר [...]

Commandments Are Bonding
And Nadav and Avihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his fire-pan, and put fire in them, and placed incense upon it, and brought before Hashem alien fire, which He had not commanded them.
