Tazria and Metzora largely deal with interactions of human bodies with one another and with the sacred. Tzaraat, which is often translated as leprosy, is a scaly skin affliction but also sometimes a house affliction and a clothing affliction. These parshioyot feature detailed descriptions of the symptoms of tzaarat — a scaly skin affliction but sometimes also a house affliction and a clothing affliction — and a lengthy explanation of the purification process that the metzora, the person afflicted with tzaraat, must undergo. They also include discussions of bodily secretions that make people impure, including, “unusual discharges” and normal menstruation.
