You said the proof from there, from a mishnah,
and I say the proof from here, from the Torah:
With regard to one diagnosed with leprosy:
Not only must the leper suffer from the leprosy itself,
he must undergo further embarrassment by publicizing his condition.
This is akin to the aphorism that poverty follows the poor.
and I say the proof from here, from the Torah:
With regard to one diagnosed with leprosy:
|
And the leper in whom the plague is,
his clothes shall be rent, and the hair of his head shall go loose, and he shall cover his upper lip, and he shall cry: Unclean, unclean. |
he must undergo further embarrassment by publicizing his condition.
This is akin to the aphorism that poverty follows the poor.
