From the cattle and from the sheep. This verse seems grammatically incorrect.  It should read 'A man from amongst you (the Jewish people) can bring these animals as an offering to G-d'. Not 'When a man will bring from among you an offering.'</p><p class='rabbiText'>The reason the verse reads the way it does, explains Rabbi Shneur Zalman, is because by using this unusual wording, the Torah has afforded us valuable insight into the workings of religious inspiration, and provided practical advice for how to make our inspiration last.</p><p class='rabbiText'>Adam- a man, </p><p class='rabbiText'>Ki Yakriv- to offer a sacrifice also translated to become closer – if you want to get close to G-d</p><p class='rabbiText'>Mikem Korban- the sacrifice has to be from you.</p></div></div>");
