[א] "זאת משחת אהרן ומשחת בניו" – אמר רבי שמעון, יכול עד שנצטרפה זכות אהרן ובניו כאחת לא זכו בשמן המשחה? תלמוד לומר "זאת משחת אהרן ומשחת בניו" – כדאי אהרן בעצמו וכדאי בניו בעצמם. רבי יהודה אומר יכול יהיו אהרן ובניו צריכים לשמן המשחה לעתיד לבא? תלמוד לומר "זאת משחת אהרן ומשחת בניו". הא מה אני מקיים (זכריה ד, יד) "אלה שני בני היצהר העֹמדים על אדון כל הארץ"? זה אהרן ודוד."מאִשי השם" – מלמד שאף האישים סייעו. "ביום הִקְרִיב אֹתָם לכהן" – מלמד שאף היום סייע.
1) (Vayikra 7:35) ("This is the anointment of Aaron and the anointment of his sons from the fire-offerings of the L–rd on the day He drew them near to minister to the L–rd.") "This is the anointment": R. Shimon said: I might think that unless Aaron and his sons had been combined with each other they would not have merited the oil of anointment; it is, therefore, written "This is the anointment of Aaron and the anointment of his sons. Each was worthy of the anointment in his own right. I might think that Aaron and his sons would require (re-anointment with) the oil of anointment in the future (i.e., at the resurrection); it is, therefore, written: "This is the anointment of Aaron and the anointment of his sons." How, then, are we to understand (Zechariah 4:14): "These are the two sons of the oil who stand before the L–rd of all the earth"? (i.e., Aaron and his sons are three!) The reference is to Aaron (anointed for priesthood) and David (anointed for kingdom). "from the fire-offerings of the L–rd": We are hereby taught that the fire (destined to descend from Heaven upon the altar) also "assisted" (in Aaron and his sons' meriting the oil of anointment). "on the day he drew them near to minister to the L–rd": We are hereby taught that the (holiness of the) day also "assisted."
