And it was on the day the Moshe completed the Mishkan, (Numbers 7,1)
On the day the Miskan was completed, Chazal says that the happiness was great, and all the things needed for the Mishkan was brought on the 1st day, and as it was a condition God made with the People of Isreal, that there exit from Egypt was on condition they made the Mishkan and the Shechina would dwell inside it, and since they made the Mishkan the Shechina descended and dwelt amongst them, (Bamidbar Rabba 12,6).
From this statement a question can be asked, surely it says in Talmud Megillah 10, every place where it says ‘it was'(????), its non other then a statement signifying suffering, if so why does it say ???? ???? ???? ??? ????? ?? ????, surely the completion of the Mishkan was a great happiness?.
This matter can be understood by a parable given by Midrash Rabbah (12,7) A King requested from his Queen to sow him a garment with embroidery, when she finishes this very expensive garment she brings it to the King all the components of the garments and the King becomes very happy, but he sighs , the Princes ask him,
“why are you sighing?”, the King answers
“all the time the Queen was occupied in the workings of the garment her mind was serene, from now onwards who knows? all the arguments and madness may start again! on this do i worry.
The parable of this story is as follows; all the times the Yidden are involved in the workings of the Mishkan, there was no complaint, what a great Simcha with the dwelling of the Divine Presence, but after they have finished the buiding of the Mishkan who knows if they will sin or not, because in a place of idleness there is a lead to sin, therefore you find the Yidden start complaining ????? ??? ?? ??? (Exodus, 15)
??? ???? ?? ?” (Deuteronomy, 17),
From here we learn when a person is occupied with a Mitzva he is weakened to sin, and when your idle from the work of the Mitzva you give a opening for the Evil Inclination.
This is why it says
‘?????? ??? ???? ?????’
and Chazal says ‘first for the calculation of the sins’, because from Yom Kippur to the 1st day of Succos they are occupied with the Succah and the 4 species, and they had no time to sin, and only on the first day when a person is waving the action and the acquisition of the Mitzva the Evil Inclination requests a accounting of the soul so the person shouldn’t fall into its net.
Maharal writes on the Possuk ‘sin crouches at the door’, a allusion can be to a man who hears knocking from inside his house, he looks through the keyhole and sees a dog knocking on his door, so he opens the door a bit to remove the dog, and since the dog puts its head through the door, it already enters into the house.
So to with the Evil Inclination, when you give it a small entrance, it already enters within, if only a person would take a ‘slap’ or ‘warning’ from his Good Inclination, then certainty he would change for the good.
