  • It's not small... (Compare with Vayikra which has the small Alef.)

  • I’ve checked three different Chumashim, including a Tikkun, in addition to the one DoubleAA cites. The only one who says that this מ is small is Minchas Shai; nobody else seems to say that this should be a small מ.

The Oznaim Latorah explains that mokdah was the largest fire in the altar services. The small 'Mem' then came to teach us that everything great should demonstrate humility.
