1. Yes, but that's not one of them!
2...Rabbi,<br /><br />1. Yes, but that's not one of them!<br /><br />2. Any time anyone failed to listen to a navi for starters<br /><br />3. That's the paragraph I'm disagreeing with. Tzaraas may (or may not) be associated with grieving for a dead person, but it is certainly not associated with death. A person with tzaraas may be the perfect specimen of health. This is not hodgkins disease.<br /><br />4. Having not seen the chazal inside myself I would say that the operative word is 'deserves'. Anyone who slanders (as Korach did) deserves tzaraas. That punishment might not be meted out if, as in this case, there is a better punishment. This may be why Moshe asked God to provide a unique punishment. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-71831922661478699022013-06-06T14:46:12.098-04:002013-06-06T14:46:12.098-04:00Anonymous 9:54 AM-

The line in brackets is my answer.

There are many such instances in tanach which do not result in tzaraat. Furthermore how is a m'tzorah like a dead person? Because a splotch of his skin is white? The disease is intended as an indication of a spiritual malady not a physical one. <br /><br />In fact the point made in brackets seems paramount. Why do Chazal say someone who emulates Korach receives tzaraat if Korach himself never did?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
