Parashat Metzora

A person healed of tzaraat returns through a ceremony held outside the camp: two birds, cedar wood, crimson thread and hyssop, then shaving, washing and a week of waiting, then offerings at the sanctuary, with a reduced set for the poor. Tzaraat can also appear on the walls of a house in the land of Israel. The house is emptied, the stones are examined, and the affected ones are removed and replaced; if the condition returns, the house is demolished. The portion ends with the laws of bodily discharges in men and women and the purification that follows.
