[Avodah] Vayigash and Vayikrav

[Liron Kopinsky]

Does anyone know a source that talks about why Vayikra 8:14 uses Vayagesh,
but both 8:6 and 8:22 uses Vayikrav. http://mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0308.htm

8:6 is talking about Aharon u'Banav
8:14 is talking about the Par haChatat
8:22 is talking about the Eil haMiluim

I've seen the Bereishit Rabba which quotes on Vayigash yehuda "Ein Vayigash
ela... Korban, sheneemar Vayagesh et par...", but that doesn't answer the
question about why davka here.

Some ideas I had:
1) The Par is in some way a kappara for the Eigel haZahav where it uses the
work Vayigshu (Ex 32:6). http://mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0232.htm
2) Vayigash is a more intimate term than vayakrev. Kappara from the Chattat
needs to be more personal than the milluim.
3) Vayakrev WRT Aharon comes before Vayagesh of the Par. This shows that if
we come forward first, Hashem will enable the opportunity of Teshuva to be
brought closer to us. (But this doesn't answer why the Eil haMiluim reverts
to Vayakrev.)

Shabbat Shalom,
Liron
