Everything for a Reason
The Torah commands everyone who has a *zav* emission and everyone
contaminated by a human corpse “*male and female* alike shall you expel to
the outside of the camp…”.[i] <#m_2075751912584736621__edn1>
Then, two lines later tells us, “*a man or woman* who commits any of
man’s sins …shall make restitution”.
Why did the Torah change from addressing “male and female”, to “man
and woman”? What does this come to teach us?
Everyone with a contagious disease must be sent out of the camp, even
if they are not yet adults. However, minors are not yet obligated to make
restitution for their mistakes, so the line addressing restitution
identifies “man and women,” while the line addressing expulsion, which does
include minors, addresses males and females to include both adults and
minors.
Such essential teachings learned out from a seemingly insignificant
change.
Every letter in the Torah is here for a reason.
