Shalom and Thank you very much, rabbi Goodman.
How obvious turth about the olah offering that the bull signifies the most powerful part of a human being, which is the soul, the first "particle" of human existance.
And only then comes the body - the sin offering.
This is revelatory and yet - how obvious and still hidden in plain sight
