Gezeiras ha-kasuv (precise wording of “tihyeh”)

What Is Learned

Chazal teach that the purification procedure of the metzora must be performed in the exact order set forth in the Torah; the word “tihyeh” locks the sequence in place. If the order is altered, the offering is invalid unless the earlier element can still be supplied later.
