Tazria Hebrew Parsha – 4th Aliyah

Tazria (תַזְרִיעַ)

Leviticus 12:1 – 13:59

Fourth Aliyah



13:24
[This is the law] when there is a burn on the body, and a bright pink or white spot appears where the burn has healed.
O vasar ki-yihyeh ve’oro michvat-esh vehayetah michyat hamichvah baheret levanah adamdemet o levanah.
אוֹ בָשָׂר, כִּי-יִהְיֶה בְעֹרוֹ מִכְוַת-אֵשׁ; וְהָיְתָה מִחְיַת הַמִּכְוָה, בַּהֶרֶת לְבָנָה אֲדַמְדֶּמֶת–אוֹ לְבָנָה.

13:25
The priest shall examine it, and if the hair on the spot has turned white, and [the spot] appears to have penetrated the skin, it is the leprous curse breaking out on the burn. Since it is the leprous curse, the priest shall declare it unclean.
Vera’ah otah hakohen vehineh nehepach se’ar lavan babaheret umar’eha amok min-ha’or tsara’at hi bamichvah parachah vetime oto hakohen nega tsara’at hi.
וְרָאָה אֹתָהּ הַכֹּהֵן וְהִנֵּה נֶהְפַּךְ שֵׂעָר לָבָן בַּבַּהֶרֶת, וּמַרְאֶהָ עָמֹק מִן-הָעוֹר–צָרַעַת הִוא, בַּמִּכְוָה פָּרָחָה; וְטִמֵּא אֹתוֹ הַכֹּהֵן, נֶגַע צָרַעַת הִוא.

13:26
However, if the priest examines it, and the spot does not have white hair, and it is a dull white which does not appear to have penetrated the skin, then the priest shall quarantine it for seven days.
Ve’im yir’enah hakohen vehineh eyn-babaheret se’ar lavan ushfalah eynenah min-ha’or vehi chehah vehisgiro hakohen shiv’at yamim.
וְאִם יִרְאֶנָּה הַכֹּהֵן, וְהִנֵּה אֵין-בַּבַּהֶרֶת שֵׂעָר לָבָן, וּשְׁפָלָה אֵינֶנָּה מִן-הָעוֹר, וְהִוא כֵהָה–וְהִסְגִּירוֹ הַכֹּהֵן, שִׁבְעַת יָמִים.

13:27
On the seventh day, the priest shall examine it, and if it has increased in size on the skin, the priest shall declare it unclean, since it is the leprous curse.
Vera’ahu hakohen bayom hashvi’i im-pasoh tifseh ba’or vetime hakohen oto nega tsara’at hi.
וְרָאָהוּ הַכֹּהֵן, בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי: אִם-פָּשֹׂה תִפְשֶׂה, בָּעוֹר–וְטִמֵּא הַכֹּהֵן אֹתוֹ, נֶגַע צָרַעַת הִוא.

13:28
However, if the spot remains stable and does not increase in size, or if it has faded, then it is a discoloration due to the burn. Since it is merely scar tissue from the burn, the priest shall declare it clean.
Ve’im-tachteyha ta’amod habaheret lo-fastah va’or vehi chehah se’et hamichvah hi vetiharo hakohen ki-tsarevet hamichvah hi.
וְאִם-תַּחְתֶּיהָ תַעֲמֹד הַבַּהֶרֶת לֹא-פָשְׂתָה בָעוֹר, וְהִוא כֵהָה–שְׂאֵת הַמִּכְוָה, הִוא; וְטִהֲרוֹ, הַכֹּהֵן–כִּי-צָרֶבֶת הַמִּכְוָה, הִוא.
