Torah Thoughts From Rabbi Doug
Torah Thoughts for Shabbat Parshat Shmini:
Chaza'l said that the he-goat (Se'ir) came to atone for the sale of Yosef HaTzadik (Joseph), 'a"h, because the brothers slaughtered a he-goat and dipped Joseph's coat in its blood. The calf ('Egel) comes to atone for the sin of the golden calf.
In the Midrash Rabbah it says that the Jewish people are likened to the people of Cuth who would go to their neighbor's house and only ask for one small onion. When the neighbor brought the onion they would add, "Is it possible to eat an onion without bread?", so the neighbor would bring bread. They would then ask, "Is it possible to eat without drinking?", and they would bring them a drink, and so on.
So too the Jewish people, ask forgiveness for the lesser sin first and then go to the more serious one. They start with the sin against Joseph, because Reuben, Binyamin, Menashe and Ephraim were not involved, and it was a sin of their forefathers -- not of their own. After that they ask forgiveness for their own sin, which everyone except the tribe of Levi participated in.
(See Ben Ish Hai Derashoth, Parshat Shemini)
