Aliya Summary: At the conclusion of the quarantine period, the priest
either declares the individual pure or impure. The Torah then discusses
what is done in the event that the tzara'at spreads after the
individual was declared pure, or if there is raw skin within the
tzara'at, or if the tzara'at has spread over the entire body.
The
laws of Nega'im are difficult and complex. In addition to everything
else, the kohen had to know the psychology of the cases and be sensitive
to the personal situations of the afflicted. That fact, along with the
fact that shades of colors are often subject to the observer's
perspective, proves that this affliction and subsequent remedy is a very
personal experience, meant to promote proper behavior and involving
more objective and knowledgeable Jews (and people) in our lives.
