“Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them; then he descended from having performed the sin-offering, the elevation-offering, and the peace-offering (Vayikra 9:22).”

When a person’s heart is broken within because of his sins, when he, descends, he is sad because, (of his) Chatat, he then has the ability to, Olah, to elevate all his actions and perfect them, as in, “Olah, v’Shlamim.” (Divrei Nichumim)
