מצורע, פרשה א 1

Sifra · Metzora, Section 1, Chapter 1

‹›
  1. 1

    [א] "תורת המצרע" – לבית עולמים. "זאת" – אינה נוהגת בבמה. "תהיה" – בזמן הזה. "תורת המצרע" – תורה אחת לכל המצורעים שיהיו מביאים קרבן זה. וכי מאין יצאו? לפי שמצינו שחלק הכתוב בטומאותיהם ובשבועותיהם, יכול אף כן נחלק בקרבנם? ת"ל "תורת המצורע" – תורה אחת לכל המצורעים שיהיו מביאים קרבן זה.

    1) (Vayikra 14:2) ("This shall be the law of the leper on the day of his cleansing; he shall be brought to the Cohein.") "the law of the leper": for the "eternal house" (i.e., the Temple). "This" (i.e., the bringing of the offerings) does not obtain in a bamah "shall be": in the present time (i.e., even after the destruction of the Temple). "the law of the leper": There is one law for all the lepers in that they bring this offering. — Now where have they been excluded (from "oneness," that they need be included in it vis-à-vis the offering)? — Because we find Scripture to have differentiated between their (types of) tumah and their weeks (of quarantine, some requiring one week and others, two), we might think to differentiate in their offering too; it is, therefore, written "the law of the leper" — there is one law for all of the lepers; that they bring this offering.
