Metzora  The twenty-eighth reading from the Torah is Metzora (מצורע), a word that means “leper.” The word appears in the second verse of the reading, which says, “This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing” (Leviticus 14:2).Leviticus 14 spells out the complex purification rituals for the cleansing of a leper and a leprous home. 

Messiah is our redeemer. He has redeemed us from slavery, from sin, from condemnation and from death. He is our kinsmen redeemer, our brother in the house of God, who has ransomed us from the debt we could not pay. Therefore, we speak of Him as redeemer.

The blood avenger himself shall put the murderer to death; he shall put him to death when he meets him. (Numbers 35:19)
