TAZRIA Part 2

Shalom, Shalom. We continue our focus upon the PARASHAT TAZRIA by placing our ATTENTION on the following passage found in the SIDRAH, it is written, “HaShem spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying: If a person will have on the skin of his flesh a s’eis, or a sapachas, or a baheres and will become a tzaraas affliction on the skin of his flesh; he shall be brought to Aaron the Kohen, or to one of his sons the Kohanim. The Kohen shall look at the affliction on the skin of his flesh; If hair in the affliction has changed to white, and the afflictions appearance is deeper than the skin of his flesh - it is a tzaraas affliction; the Kohen shall look at it and declare him contaminated.” (Leviticus 13:1-3) In this passage of TORAH, the NAVI Moshe is given instructions from HASHEM concerning the TZARAAS AFFLICTION. The instructions disclose the pathway of DIAGNOSIS to be implemented by either the KOHEN GADOL or the KOHANIM. 

In the commentary, it is noted that, “The popular translation of TZARAAS has been “leprosy,” and it was commonly accepted that the prevention of the disease’s spread was the reason for the quarantine of a person smitten with the malady.” Whether this is true or not, it remains that the cause of the DISEASE is a focus that will give rise to understanding the underlying REVELATION of the MYSTERY.

In the SCENARIO of MOSHE being challenged by AARON and MIRIAM concerning the AUTHORITY that he was given, it is written, “And the three of them went out (Moshe, Aaron and Miriam). HaShem descended in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance to the Tent, and He summoned Aaron and Miriam; the two of them went out. He said, Hear now My words. If there shall be prophets among you, in a vision shall I HaShem make Myself known to him; in a dream shall I speak with him. Not so is My servant Moses: in My entire house he is the trusted one. Mouth to mouth do I speak to him, in a clear vision and not in riddles, at the image of HaShem does he gaze. Why did you not fear to speak against My servant Moses?” (Numbers 12:4b-8) In the SCENARIO, Aaron and Miriam not only spoke against the NAVI Moshe, which is SLANDER, but also their DIVISIVENESS was against DIVINE PROTOCOL, yea, the PROTOCOL is that HASHEM spoke PANAYIM EL PANAYIM (face to face) with MOSHE and in turn Moshe conveyed what he experienced to BENEI YISRAEL.

  As to the effect of MIRIAM speaking against the NAVI Moshe (which represents DIVINE AUTHORITY), it is written, “The cloud had departed from atop the Tent, and behold! Miriam was afflicted with TZARAAS, like snow! (Numbers 12:10a) In this passage of TORAH, we are able to DISCERN that speaking against DIVINE AUTHORITY gives rise to encountering TZARAAS.
No doubt the REASONING behind such a SEVERE RESPONSE to speaking against DIVINE AUTHORITY is based on the EMET (truth) that both the UNFOLDMENT and INFOLDMENT that occurs in the UNIVERSE of BECOMING, words can hinder the PROCESS. After ALL, ECHAD chose WORDS to SHAPE the MANIFESTATION of what He has predetermined. Thus to be a Co-Creator of the UNIVERSE, we must BRIDLE the TONGUE, refusing to SPEAK what will undermine or DESTROY.

Whenever DIVINE AUTHORITY is spoken AGAINST, three people are HURT. Those three are the one who is spoken about, the speaker and the one who hears. This is what CREATES DIVISION within a UNIFIED group of people. Thus the LEADERSHIP in the UNIVERSE of BECOMING is destined to oversee the UNITY in a CORPORATE group insuring that whenever SLANDER is spoken or there are words spoken against DIVINE PROTOCOL, the NEED for QUARANTINING is considered to MINIMIZE the spread of DISUNITY.
