Aliya Summary: This Aliya discusses tzara'at which appears on a bald
spot, as well a white discoloration streaked with red, which can appear
anywhere on the body. Also discussed is the procedure followed by an
individual who is afflicted with tzara'at, the main requirement being
that they must remain outside the city until their condition clears up.
The Torah then discusses "clothing tzara'at," a green or red
discoloration which can affect certain types of materials. The garment
is shown to a priest who quarantines it for up to two weeks.
A
person who has Tzora'at, tears their clothes, lets their hair hang
loose, and must announce in public that they are impure (possibly some
sort of public repentence). The proper conduct of the Metzora is a
mitzvah (positive commandment).
