So who cares?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which is why Mark suggests we ought to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parsha &#8220;Tazria&#8221; (Leviticus chapters 12 through 13) also at least has something to do with the &#8216;eighth day,&#8217; when an infant male child is to be circumcised. But it also comes from a section that is &#8216;politically incorrect,&#8217; in a world that so hates His Word, and then introduces a concept that might be even more &#8220;out of favor.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Erev Shabbat reading lays out all the sordid details:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/hebrewnationonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/SSM-4-12-24-Tazria-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The sages suggest that a person being overcome by the malady of &#8216;tzaraat&#8217; and exiled outside of the camp was a sort of testimony that Elohim Himself was publicly pointing out that individual&#8217;s wrongdoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship has suggested in the past that perhaps the &#8220;NOT-leprosy&#8221; that is described in Scripture, but has not actually been SEEN in centuries might in some ways thus be a type of &#8216;blessing&#8217; for His people, in that the &#8216;evil tongue&#8217; might be revealed for what it is, while repentance is still possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such detail about a &#8216;plague&#8217; that probably hasn&#8217;t been seen anywhere on the planet for over a thousand years.
