אֵי זֶהוּ תְּנוּךְ אֹזֶן זֶה גָּדֵר הָאֶמְצָעִי. נָתַן עַל צִדֵּי הַבְּהוֹנוֹת כָּשֵׁר. נָתַן עַל צִדֵּי צִדֵּיהֶן פָּסוּל. בֵּין שֶׁנָּתַן הַשֶּׁמֶן עַל דַּם הָאָשָׁם עַצְמוֹ מִלְמַעְלָה בֵּין שֶׁנָּתַן בְּצַד הַדָּם אֲפִלּוּ נִתְקַנֵּחַ הַדָּם קֹדֶם שֶׁיִּתֵּן הַשֶּׁמֶן עַל בְּהוֹנוֹת יָצָא שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא יד כח) "עַל מְקוֹם דַּם הָאָשָׁם". אֵין לוֹ בֹּהֶן יַד יְמָנִית אוֹ בֹּהֶן רֶגֶל יְמָנִית אוֹ שֶׁאֵין לוֹ אֹזֶן יְמָנִית אֵין לוֹ טָהֳרָה עוֹלָמִית:

**Mishneh Torah, trans. by Eliyahu Touger. Jerusalem, Moznaim Pub. c1986-c2007:**
What is meant by the term "the *tinuch* of the ear"? The middle lobe.
If the priest applied the oil to the sides of the thumb and the large toe, it is acceptable. If he applied it to their lower surface, it is invalid. Whether the priest applies the oil to the blood of the guilt-offering directly above it or he applied it at the side of the blood, even if the blood was cleaned off before he placed the oil on the thumb and the toe, he fulfills his obligation, as implied by Leviticus 14:28 which states that the oil must be applied "on the place of the blood of the guilt-offering."
If an afflicted person does not have a right hand, a right foot, or a right ear, he can never regain ritual purity.

אֲשַׁם מְצֹרָע שֶׁשְּׁחָטוֹ שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁמוֹ אוֹ שֶׁלֹּא נָתַן מִדָּמוֹ עַל גַּבֵּי בְּהוֹנוֹת הֲרֵי זֶה עוֹלֶה לַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְטָעוּן נְסָכִים כְּנִסְכֵּי אֲשַׁם מְצֹרָע וְצָרִיךְ הַמְצֹרָע אָשָׁם אַחֵר לְהַכְשִׁירוֹ:

**Mishneh Torah, trans. by Eliyahu Touger. Jerusalem, Moznaim Pub. c1986-c2007:**
When a guilt offering of an afflicted person was slaughtered without the proper intent or its blood was not applied to the person's thumb and toe, it should be brought to the altar and it requires additional offerings like those offered for a guilt-offering of one afflicted with *tzara'at*. The afflicted person must bring another guilt-offering for his purificiation.

הִקְדִּים חַטָּאתוֹ לַאֲשָׁמוֹ לֹא יִהְיֶה אַחֵר מְמָרֵס בְּדָמָהּ אֶלָּא תְּעֵבַּר צוּרָתָהּ וְתֵצֵא לְבֵית הַשְּׂרֵפָה:

**Mishneh Torah, trans. by Eliyahu Touger. Jerusalem, Moznaim Pub. c1986-c2007:**
If the afflicted person's sin-offering was offered before his guilt-offering, we do not say that one should stir the blood of the sin-offering until the guilt-offering was offered. Instead, it should be left overnight and then taken to the place where sacrifices are burnt.

יֵשׁ לְאָדָם לְהָבִיא אֲשָׁמוֹ הַיּוֹם וְלוֹגוֹ אַחַר עֲשָׂרָה יָמִים. וְאִם רָצָה לְשַׁנּוֹת הַלּוֹג לַאֲשַׁם מְצֹרָע אַחֵר מְשַׁנֶּה אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁקָּדַשׁ בִּכְלִי. חָסַר הַלּוֹג עַד שֶׁלֹּא יָצַק יְמַלְּאֶנּוּ. חָסַר מֵאַחַר שֶׁיָּצַק יָבִיא אַחֵר בַּתְּחִלָּה:

**Mishneh Torah, trans. by Eliyahu Touger. Jerusalem, Moznaim Pub. c1986-c2007:**
A person may bring his guilt-offering one day and his *log* of oil even after ten days. If he desires to alter the designation of the *log* and designate it for the guilt-offering of another afflicted person, he may although he has already had it consecrated in a sacred utensil. If the amount of oil decreased before it was poured into the priest's hand and was less than a *log*, the measure should be refilled. If it decreased after it was poured, another *log* should be brought instead.

**Mishneh Torah, trans. by Eliyahu Touger. Jerusalem, Moznaim Pub. c1986-c2007:**
The following laws apply if the oil was poured into the priest's hand, his colleague began to sprinkle it and then the *log* spilled. If it spilled before he completed the seven sprinklings, he should bring another *log* of oil and begin the seven sprinklings. If he completed the seven sprinklings and then the *log* of oil spilled, he should bring another *log* and begin applying the oil to the thumb and toe. If he already began applying the oil to the thumb and toe and the *log* spilled before he could complete it, he should bring another *log* and begin applying the oil to the thumb and toe. If he completed applying the oil to the thumb and toe and the *log* spilled before he placed the remainder of the oil on the head of the person being purified, he does not have to bring another *log*, for the application of the oil to his head is not an indispensable requirement, as implied by Leviticus 14:17, 18 which mentions "the remainder of the oil," and "the additional oil."

הִקְדִּים מַתַּן שֶׁמֶן לְמַתַּן דָּם יְמַלֵּא הַלּוֹג שֶׁמֶן וְיַחְזֹר וְיִתֵּן הַשֶּׁמֶן אַחַר הַדָּם. הִקְדִּים מַתַּן שֶׁמֶן עַל הַבְּהוֹנוֹת לְמַתַּן שֶׁבַע יְמַלֵּא הַלּוֹג וְיַחְזֹר וְיִתֵּן עַל הַבְּהוֹנוֹת אַחַר מַתַּן שֶׁבַע שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא יד ב) "זֹאת תִּהְיֶה תּוֹרַת הַמְצֹרָע" שֶׁתִּהְיֶה כָּל תּוֹרָתוֹ עַל הַסֵּדֶר:

**Mishneh Torah, trans. by Eliyahu Touger. Jerusalem, Moznaim Pub. c1986-c2007:**
If the priest applied the oil before he applied the blood, he should fill the *log* container with additional oil and apply the oil after the blood. If the oil was applied to the thumb and toe before the seven sprinklings were made, the *log* container should be filled with additional oil which should be applied to the thumb and toe after the seven sprinklings. These laws are derived from Leviticus 14:2 which states: "This is the law applying to one afflicted with *tzara'at*." Implied is that the entire law should be carried out according to the prescribed sequence.

**Mishneh Torah, trans. by Eliyahu Touger. Jerusalem, Moznaim Pub. c1986-c2007:**
If the seven sprinklings were made without the proper intent, the offering does not find favor Above, but the afflicted person regains his status of purity.

מְצֹרָע שֶׁנִּתְנַגֵּעַ אַחַר שֶׁהֵבִיא אֲשָׁמוֹ צָרִיךְ קָרְבָּן אַחֵר לְצָרַעַת שְׁנִיָּה. וְכֵן אִם הֵבִיא אֲשָׁמוֹ וְנִתְנַגֵּעַ צָרִיךְ קָרְבָּן עַל כָּל אַחַת וְאַחַת. אֲבָל אִם נִתְנַגֵּעַ וְנִרְפָּא וְהֵבִיא צִפֳּרָיו וְחָזַר וְנִתְנַגֵּעַ וְנִתְרַפֵּא וְהֵבִיא צִפֳּרָיו קָרְבָּן אֶחָד לְכֻלָּן:

**Mishneh Torah, trans. by Eliyahu Touger. Jerusalem, Moznaim Pub. c1986-c2007:**
When a person who had been afflicted with *tzara'at* becomes afflicted again after bringing his guilt-offering, he must bring another set of sacrifices for the second affliction. Similarly, if he brings his guilt-offering for the second affliction and becomes afflicted again, he must bring a sacrifice for every time he became afflicted. If, however, he became afflicted and was healed and brought the birds and then became afflicted again, when he was healed a second time and brings his birds, it is sufficient to bring one set of sacrifices for all the times he was afflicted.

**Mishneh Torah, trans. by Eliyahu Touger. Jerusalem, Moznaim Pub. c1986-c2007:**
The following laws apply when an afflicted person brings the sacrifices required of a poor person and then he becomes rich, or he brought the sacrifices required of a rich person and he became poor. Everything depends on his status at the time he brings his guilt-offering. If he was wealthy at the time the guilt-offering was slaughtered, he should complete the offering of a wealthy person. If he was poor at that time, he should complete the offering of a poor person.

שְׁנֵי מְצֹרָעִים שֶׁנִּתְעָרְבוּ קָרְבְּנוֹתֵיהֶן וְנִזְרַק דַּם אַחַת מִשְּׁתֵי הַחַטָּאוֹת שֶׁלָּהֶן וְאַחַר כָּךְ מֵת אֶחָד מִן הַמְצֹרָעִים כֵּיצַד עוֹשֶׂה זֶה הַמְצֹרָע הַחַי. לְהָבִיא חַטַּאת בְּהֵמָה אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל שֶׁמָּא זוֹ שֶׁנִּזְרַק דָּמָהּ חַטָּאתוֹ הִיא וְאֵין מְבִיאִין חַטַּאת בְּהֵמָה עַל הַסָּפֵק. וּלְהָבִיא חַטַּאת הָעוֹף אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל שֶׁעָשִׁיר שֶׁהֵבִיא קָרְבַּן עָנִי לֹא יָצָא. וְכֵיצַד יַעֲשֶׂה. יִכְתֹּב כָּל נְכָסָיו לְאַחֵר וְנִמְצָא עָנִי וְיָבִיא חַטַּאת הָעוֹף מִסָּפֵק וְלֹא תֵּאָכֵל כְּמוֹ שֶׁבֵּאַרְנוּ וְנִמְצָא אוֹכֵל בְּקָדָשִׁים:

**Mishneh Torah, trans. by Eliyahu Touger. Jerusalem, Moznaim Pub. c1986-c2007:**
There were two afflicted persons whose sacrifices became intermingled and the blood of one of the sin-offerings was sprinkled on the altar and then one of the afflicted persons died. What should the afflicted person who is alive do? He may not bring an animal as a sin-offering, for perhaps the sin-offering whose blood was cast on the altar was his and we follow the principle: an animal is not brought as a sin-offering when there is a doubt whether one is liable. He may not bring a sin-offering of fowl, because a rich man who brings a poor man's offering does not fulfill his obligation.
What then should he do? He should sign all his property over to another person. Thus he will be poor. Hence he may bring a sin-offering of fowl, because of the doubt. It is not eaten, as we explained. He may then partake of sacrificial foods.

**Mishneh Torah, trans. by Eliyahu Touger. Jerusalem, Moznaim Pub. c1986-c2007:**
When a rich man says: "I take responsibility for the sacrifices of this afflicted person," and the afflicted person was poor, he must bring the sacrifices of a wealthy man, for the person who took the vow has the financial capacity. If a poor person said: "I take responsibility for the sacrifices of this afflicted person," and the afflicted person was wealthy, he must bring the sacrifices of a wealthy man, for the person who took the vow obligated himself to bring the sacrifices of a wealthy man.
