Core Text
תּוֹרַת הַמְּצֹרָע — נִתְנַגַּע וְנִתְרַפֵּא, נִתְנַגַּע וְנִתְרַפֵּא, מֵבִיא קָרְבָּן אֶחָד, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר זֹאת תִּהְיֶה תּוֹרַת הַמְּצֹרָע — תּוֹרָה אַחַת לִמְצֹרָעִים הַרְבֵּה.

English: “The Toras of the metzora” — if he was afflicted and healed, then afflicted and healed again, he brings a single offering, as it is said “this shall be the Toras of the metzora” — one Torah for many metzoraim.

Ribui from “Toras”

What Is Learned

Chazal teach that successive afflictions prior to the bringing of the asham are treated as a single purification obligation; one set of offerings suffices. Once the asham has been offered, a new outbreak requires a new korban.
