Exodus 29:41 Midrash: Midrash Tanchuma Buber

וְאֵת֙ הַכֶּ֣בֶשׂ הַשֵּׁנִ֔י תַּעֲשֶׂ֖ה בֵּ֣ין הָעַרְבָּ֑יִם כְּמִנְחַ֨ת הַבֹּ֤קֶר וּכְנִסְכָּהּ֙ תַּֽעֲשֶׂה־לָּ֔הּ לְרֵ֣יחַ נִיחֹ֔חַ אִשֶּׁ֖ה לַיהוָֽה׃

And the other lamb thou shalt offer at dusk, and shalt do thereto according to the meal-offering of the morning, and according to the drink-offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

Midrash Tanchuma Buber

Another interpretation (of Eccl. 7:1): A GOOD NAME IS BETTER THAN GOOD OIL. The Names of Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were <better> than the good oil with which Nadab and Abihu were anointed.4Exod. 29:41. Why? The children of Aaron went in to sacrifice and were burned;5Lev. 10:1–2; Numb. 3:4; 26:61. Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were thrown into the midst of a fiery furnace and were saved.6Dan. 1:6–7; 3:8–26. Ergo (in Eccl. 7:1): A GOOD NAME.
