Rabbi Eliyahu interpreted the verse regarding the festival pilgrims. “Show me your appearance,” these are the festival pilgrims, as it is stated: “Three times a year they shall be seen” (Deuteronomy 16:16). “Let me hear your voice,” this is the melodious recitation of Hallel.” When Israel recites Hallel, their voice ascends On High. The parable says: The paschal offering is in the house and Hallel bursts outward. “And your appearance is lovely,” this is the platform.132The platform on which the Levites would stand when they sang in the Temple.
