שְׁתֵּי צִפֳּרִים וְעֵץ אֶרֶז וּשְׁנִי תוֹלַעַת וְאֵזֹב — כְּמוֹ בְּטָהֳרַת הָאָדָם: שְׁתֵּי צִפֳּרִים חַיּוֹת טְהֹרוֹת וְעֵץ אֶרֶז וּשְׁנִי תוֹלַעַת וְאֵזֹב.

English: The house rite uses the same materials as the person-metzora purification: two pure live birds, cedar wood, crimson thread, and hyssop.

Type of Learning

Shared purification materials

What Is Learned

House and person share the same symbolic set; Torah Temimah’s silence here is because the derashos were already harvested on the person-metzora verses.
