6. Rabbi Shimon said: We learned that it is written, "Hashem, You preserve man and beast" (Tehilim 36:7). Thus, the secret of man rises from the aspect of man THROUGH DESIRE AND PRAYER, and the beast from that aspect of the cattle WHICH IS SACRIFICED ON THE ALTAR. It is therefore written: "If any man of you bring an offering..." (Vayikra 1:2). A man's sacrifice is indeed IN DESIRE AND PRAYER; to tie a knot above IN THE SECRET OF MAN. Then comes that of the cattle. Everything is in the verse: "man and beast." This is the secret reason why both man and cattle are needed for a sacrifice, as it says. Come and behold: when the Holy One, blessed be He, created the world, He did it thus: "man and beast."
6. וְאָמַר ר"ש, הָא אִתְּמַר, דִּכְתִּיב, אָדָם וּבְהֵמָה תּוֹשִׁיעַ יְיָ.' וְהָכִי סַלְּקָא רָזָא דְּאָדָם, מִסִּטְרָא דְּאָדָם. בְּהֵמָה, מִסִּטְרָא דִּבְהֵמָה. וּבְגִין כַּךְ כְּתִיב אָדָם כִּי יַקְרִיב מִכֶּם. אָדָם וַדַּאי, דְּהָא קָרְבָּנֵיהּ לְעֵילָּא, לְקַשְּׁרָא קִשְׁרָא. וּלְבָתַר מִן הַבְּהֵמָה. וְכֹלָּא אִיהוּ בַּקְּרָא, אָדָם וּבְהֵמָה. וְדָא אִיהוּ רָזָא, דְּאִצְטְרִיךְ לְקָרְבְּנָא אָדָם וּבְהֵמָה, כִּדְקָאָמַר. תָּא חֲזֵי, כַּד בָּרָא קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא עָלְמָא, הָכִי עָבֵד אָדָם וּבְהֵמָה.
