Tazria-Metzora - 5th Portion

Join me as we learn Humash for Thursday, parshas Tazria Metzora when Tazria Metzora combined. We are now in the second part of it, which is in parshas Metzora. Yesterday we began by saying the laws pertaining how a metzora becomes purified and gets rid of the defilement, the impurification of the histarus. This is after his saras has already left him, after the cohen has examined him, the details of the sacrifices of what he has to bring. Yesterday we spoke about that he brings three different lambs. What happens if a person can't afford three different lambs? Verse 21, chapter 14. The im dal hu, if he is poor and cannot afford the masay and he cannot afford the lach keves achas, so therefore what he has must take is one lamb asham for a guilt offering, lit tenufa as a wave offering happy to love to be atoned for him. Ve'is sorin se'eles and then 8 1/10 of an eifah of fine flour achad one balul bashamen mixed with oil lemincha for a meal offering, velo shamen and then a log of oil. 20, Rashi ve'asam mincha. Um I'm sorry, verse 21, Rashi ve'is sorin se'eles achad. Le'keves zayis taking the meal libation for this lamb shoo achad which is one yavi sorin achad lenesach, so he only has to bring one libation with it velo shamen and that is why does he have to bring the oil? Lasis mimenu al habahin es to put on his thumb, toe and ear ridge. Veshemen shel niskei amincha le'yuske achas le'farish and the oil for the libations for the meal offering, the Torah did not have to discuss because this is already mentioned of when a person brings and how much he has to bring with it. Verse 22. Ushtei say um ishtei benei ya'anah and two turtle doves two young pigeons asher tasig yado that he will be able to afford because they are less expensive. Vahai whatever he's able to afford vahai echad chatas ve'echad eilah, one will then be a sin offering and one will be a ascent offering. Verse 23, vehevi esam beyom hashmini letaharoso, he will bring them then on the eighth day of his purification process el hakoin to the cohen al pesach ohel mo'ed to the entrance of the tent of meeting lifnei Hashem in front of God. Beyom hashmini letaharoso, what does it mean the eighth day of his purification process? Hashmini it took pari mazoi say eight and it's eight days of shni'i letaharoso, that means eight days after the first step of purification when he brought already the cedar the the piece of cedar and the scarlet string of wool and the hyssop and seven days later, that's when on the eighth day he comes and shaves all his hair, going back to what we mentioned before, just he's bringing these pigeons instead of the lambs. Verse 24. The lach achain es keves asham and then the cohen will take the lamb of the guilt offering ves log ashamen and the log of oil vahain es es makoyen and the cohen will then wave it tenufa lifnei Hashem a wave offering in front of God. Verse 25. Veshachat es keves asham and then he would slaughter the lamb of the guilt offering velach hakoin vedam asham and the cohen will take from the blood of the guilt offering venasan al noach es amitaris yemanis and will put it in the ridge of the ear of the on the right ear of the person who's becoming purified val bo'en yado yemanis and on his right thumb val bo'en raglo yemanis and on his right big toe. Verse 26, um in ashamen yitok hakoin al kaph hakoin as one of them from the oil he'll pour it on his left palm vahai verse 27 ve'isa hakoin betzva'o yemanis min ashamen asher al kaph yado smol es and the cohen will then take with his right finger and dip it into the uh onto his left palm and take that oil and sprinkle it sheva pa'amim lifnei Hashem seven times in front of God. Verse 28, venasan hakoin min ashamen and then the cohen will take from that oil asher al kaph yado that's on his palm al tunach es amitaris yemanis and put it on the inner ridge of the ear right ear of the person who's being purified val bo'en yado yemanis on the right thumb val bo'en raglo yemanis on his right toe al makoin dam ha'asham and and his right big toe val makoin dam asham on the place of where the blood of the guilt offering is. Rashi al makoin dam asham afilu niska ne'echad dam even if the blood already dried up lemei she'ein adam go'erem el hamakom go'erem, it's not that that the blood has to be there, it is that the place of where the blood was placed. Verse ve'asa achad min hatoyrim o min benei ya'anah asher tasig yado and then he will take from one of the turtle doves or the two young pigeons whichever the person has brought, whatever he can afford es asher tasig yado whatever this person can afford es achad chatas one is going to be considered a sin offering ves achad eilah one will be an ascent offering al amincha together with the grain or after having offered up already the grain offering accompanying the guilt offering. Vechipar hakoin and the cohen will then affect an atonement al amitaher on the person who is seeking to be pure lifnei Hashem in front of God. Verse 32, zeis ta'am asher eilah zeis are the laws asher bo nega tzara'as pertaining a person who has a lesion of tzara'as asher lo yisig yado who may not be able to afford the full array of sacrifices betaharoso on the day for him when he becomes purified. This concludes the fifth Torah reading of parshas Tazria Metzora.
