10045. 'And you shall slaughter the ram' means preparation for purification of the internal man. This is clear from the meaning of 'slaughtering', when the subject is a sacrifice or a burnt offering, as preparation for purification, dealt with in 10024; and from the meaning of 'the ram' as in respect of the internal man, dealt with above in 10042.
