Core Text
זֹאת תּוֹרַת — תּוֹרַת לְרַבּוֹת מְצֹרָע עָנִי שֶׁהֵבִיא קָרְבַּן עָשִׁיר שֶׁיָּצָא; יָכוֹל אֲפִלּוּ עָשִׁיר שֶׁהֵבִיא קָרְבַּן עָנִי יָצָא, תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר זֹאת.

English: “This is the Toras” — “Toras” includes a poor metzora who brought the rich man’s offering, that he has fulfilled his obligation; one might think that even a rich man who brought the poor man’s offering has fulfilled it, therefore it says “this.”

What Is Learned
