Hebrew translation:

134. בֹּא רְאֵה, כָּתוּב וַתֵּצֵא אֵשׁ מִלִּפְנֵי ה’ וַתֹּאכַל עַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ אֶת הָעֹלָה. אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָּה, זֶה אוּרִיאֵ”ל, שֶׁנִּרְאָה בְּשַׁלְהֶבֶת אֵשׁ עַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר רוֹבֵץ עַל הַקָּרְבָּן. וְאָז הָיְתָה שִׂמְחָה בַּכֹּל, שֶׁהֲרֵי הִתְקַבֵּל בְּרָצוֹן, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב וַיֵּרָא כְבוֹד ה’ אֶל כָּל הָעָם. וְאִם לֹא הָיְתָה הָעִרְבּוּבְיָא שֶׁל בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן מִיּוֹם שֶׁיָּצְאוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרַיִם, לֹא נִמְצָא רָצוֹן כָּךְ לְמַעְלָה וּלְמַטָּה.
135. מִצְוָה זוֹ לִשְׂרֹף קָדָשִׁים בָּאֵשׁ, וְאַחֲרֶיהָ – וְהַנּוֹתָר מִבְּשַׂר הַזָּבַח בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי בָּאֵשׁ יִשָּׂרֵף. תַּנָּאִים וְאָמוֹרָאִים, בְּסִתְרֵי תוֹרָה יֵשׁ קֹדֶשׁ, וְיֵשׁ קָדָשִׁים, וְיֵשׁ קֹדֶשׁ קָדָשִׁים. מַה הֲנָאָה יֵשׁ לַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא בַּקֳּדָשִׁים שֶׁנִּשְׂרְפוּ? אִם תֹּאמַר בִּשְׁבִיל יִצְחָק, שֶׁבְּשָׁעָה שֶׁיִּשְׂרָאֵל בְּצָרָה, עוֹלֶה אֶפְרוֹ שֶׁל יִצְחָק לְפָנָיו, שֶׁאִם חַיָּבִים שְׂרֵפָה יִנָּצְלוּ בִגְלָלוֹ – זֶהוּ לִדְרָשׁ. וְאִם תֹּאמְרוּ מִשּׁוּם (הַצַּדִּיקִים) (וְאִם מִשּׁוּם) בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן שֶׁהָיוּ שְׂרֵפַת קָדָשִׁים, שֶׁכָּתוּב בָּהֶם וַתֵּצֵא אֵשׁ מִלִּפְנֵי ה’ וַתֹּאכַל אוֹתָם וַיָּמֻתוּ, וּמִיתָתָם כַּפָּרָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל כְּמוֹ שְׂרֵפַת קָדָשִׁים – אַף זֶה לִדְרָשׁ בָּא.
136. אֶלָּא שְׁלֹשָׁה אִשִּׁים בְּנֵר: אֵשׁ לְבָנָה, וְאֵשׁ שְׁחֹרָה, וְאֵשׁ תְּכֻלָּה, כְּנֶגֶד תּוֹרָה נְבִיאִים וּכְתוּבִים, כְּנֶגֶד כֹּהֵן לֵוִי וְיִשְׂרָאֵל. וּתְכֵלֶת הִיא שְׁכִינָה, קְרוֹבָה לָנוּ, וְהִיא אֲחוּזָה בְּאוֹתָן פְּתִילוֹת, בְּכַנְפֵי מִצְוָה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בָּהֶם וְעָשׂוּ לָהֶם צִיצִית. וְהַתְּכֵלֶת הַזּוֹ שֶׁהִיא שְׁכִינָה, הִיא דִין שֶׁאוֹכֶלֶת קָרְבָּנוֹת וְעוֹלוֹת.

Zohar Tzav
#134
Rabbi Yehuda explains that the fire in the verse “and fire came out from before YHVH and consumed the burnt offering” is the angel Uriel that as we learned, appears as a flame of fire lying on the altar. The joy spread everywhere because the sacrifice was accepted, and “and the glory of YHVH appeared to all the people”.

#135
Leviticus 7:17
“וְהַנּוֹתָר מִבְּשַׂר הַזָּבַח בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי בָּאֵשׁ יִשָּׂרֵף”
“the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day must be burned with fire.”
There are sacrifices that are categorized as Holy, Holies, and the Holy of Holies. The Zohar asks what pleasure does the Holy One Blessed be He has from the burnt sacrifices.
We may assume that the burning is a reminder to Isaac that was ready to be sacrificed on the altar. We burn the sacrifice to remember the sacrifice of Isaac that was ready to be burnt to ashes on the altar his father made. The merits of Isaac would come before Hashem to sweeten our judgments.
We may also assume that the sacrifice would be for Nadav and Avihu, sons of Aaron that died by fire from Hashem. Their death would be considered as atonement for Israel, like bring offerings of type of ‘Holies’.

#136
The three types of burnt sacrifices are corresponding to Torah (תורה), Prophets (נביאים), and Writings (כתובים), also white fire, black fire, and blue fire, also for Kohen, Levi, and Israel.
The Shechinah that is always close to us stays among the lower levels. She is holding the Tzitzit that is the strings tied to the prayer shawl. The blue fire represents judgment in Malchut that consumes the sacrifices and ascends.

Lesson;
The sacrifices cleanse the soul of the person who brought it from the sin he made. The process affects the three levels of the soul in this world. The soul level of Nefesh is called ‘Holy’. The Ruach is called ‘Holies’, and the Neshamah is called ‘Holy of Holies’.
The process of the sacrifices unifies the Right, Left, and Center, and that unification pleases the Holy One Blessed be He.
