“He called to Moshe.” (1:1)

Parashas Vayikra follows directly after Parshiyos Vayakhel/Pekudei in which the Torah details the construction of the Mishkan and all its appurtenances. Chazal explain this juxtaposition with a parable. A king once ordered his faithful servant to build a palace for him. The servant did this in a unique manner. He wrote down the king’s name on everything he built. On every brick, every piece of wood, every piece of metal: wherever one would go, he would see the king’s name. When the palace was completed, the king entered and was amazed that everywhere he went, everywhere he gazed, he saw…

“Betzalel… made/did all that Hashem commanded Moshe.” (38:22)

Rashi cites an interesting dialogue that took place between Moshe Rabbeinu and Betzalel. Moshe had instructed Betzalel to fashion the Aron Ha’kodesh and then make the Mishkan. Betzalel questioned the sequence, “Should one first make the furniture and then construct the edifice which will contain them?” Moshe responded, “Your name, Betzalel, means b’tzel Keil, in the shadow of G-d.

This would imply that Moshe Rabbeinu who was surely greater…
