ויאמר הנני. אמר יתברך אתה ענית הנני כמו אברהם זקנך וכתיב במקום גדולים אל תעמוד. אמר לו יתברך אל תקרב הלום לא לכהונה דכתיב ביה קרב אל המזבח ולא למלכות דכתב ביה הלום גבי דוד: ויאמר הנני, “He said: “I am at Your disposal.” G–d responded that though you showed your preparedness with the same word as your forefather Avraham when I called upon him, (to offer his son to Me as a sacrifice) this is not what I come to ask of you. We know from Proverbs 25,6: במקום גדולים אל תעמוד, “do not stand in the place of great men.” (do not aspire to be important actively or passively) Aaron was commanded to come close to holy sites, the altar, (Leviticus 9,7) Not so Moses. He had to shun a holy site. Neither was allowed to aspire to Royalty, as opposed to David. He acknowledged that G–d had brought him הלום, instead of as Moses: אל תקרב הלום. (Compare Samuel II 7,18 and Sh’mot Rabbah 2,6)
