As we discussed offlist ein hachi nami!

I am seeking a "quality" to the deviations that HKBH would say "yeeshar
Kochecha"
Vs.
The deviations where HKBH would find them dissatisfactory..

It seems
re: the Mishkan and re: the Nechash Nechoshes that despite the dibbur,
MRAH and Betzalel) got the story right

Mishkan: built outside in but ordered inside out. Yet in pequdei all
went ka'asher tziva...

Nechash Neshoshes: Somehow this lashon nofeil al lashon was not a
negative deviation from "saraph" but and enhancment. (The precise "how"
escapes me)


Mei Meriva
Of course here the torah tells us that the deviation diminished a
"Qiddush Hashem" So there the deed shortchanged the tzivvuy instead of
enhancing it.

Botom line Mussar Heskel:

Perhaps there are Two kinds of deviations:

Those that fail to meet the required intention of the tzivvuy

And
Those that EXCEED the minimum, enhance the tzivvuy, w/o any bal
tosif... And perhaps one needs Nevuah or Ruach Haqodesh or perhaps be
an egoless Anav as was MRAH... ?

Do any meforshim pick up on this idea?
