What Is Learned

Chazal include the minor within the laws of the metzora’s purification; the word “Toras” broadens the scope beyond the adult. Although ordinary offerings require the owner’s intent, a minor who becomes a metzora still brings (or has brought on his behalf) the purification offerings.
