“Let not a person say in his heart that he is greater than his fellow, that he serves God with greater devekut [devotion], for he is just like the rest of the creatures created by God for the purpose of His service, and God gave his fellow intelligence just as God bestowed it on him. And [indeed] in what is he more important than a worm? For a worm also serves the Creator, may His name be blessed, with all its intelligence and strength, and Man is also a lowly worm, as is written in Psalm 22 [verse 7], ‘For I am a worm and not a man . . . ‘” (Sefer Baal Shem Tov, M’tzora, 9).
When the skin that normally marks the boundary between each of us and the rest of creation breaks down, the rest of the self may break with it. Ridges and crevices that appear in surfaces of flesh that are normally smooth may disrupt our sense of at-homeness in the world. We fear that discoloration on the outside of the body will signal to everyone we meet that something inside us is not right. We are discomfited, uneasy in that skin.

Jonathan Sacks - Othello, WikiLeaks, and Mildewed Walls TAZRIA
Jonathan Sacks – Othello, WikiLeaks, and Mildewed Walls TAZRIA
It was the Septuagint, the early Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, that translated tsara’at, the condition whose identification and cleansing occupies much of Tazria and Metzora as “lepra”, giving rise to a long tradition identifying it with leprosy.
That tradition is now widely acknowledged to be incorrect. First, the condition…

A Summary of the Torah
A description of the highlights of the Torah, according to the divisions of the weekly portions.

Helaman Chapter 9, Part 4. "Bloody Rags."
26 Behold I say unto you: Go to the house of Seantum, who is the brother of Seezoram, and say unto him—
27 Has Nephi, the pretended prophet, who doth prophesy so much evil concerning this people, agreed with thee, in the which ye have murdered Seezoram, who is your brother?
28 And behold, he shall say unto you, Nay.
29 And ye shall say unto him: Have ye murdered your brother?
30 And he shall stand with fear, and wist not what to say. And behold, he shall deny unto you; and he shall make as if he were astonished; nevertheless, he shall declare unto you that he is innocent.
31 But behold, ye shall examine him, and ye shall find blood upon the skirts of his cloak.
32 And when ye have seen this, ye shall say: From whence cometh this blood? Do we not know that it is the blood of your brother?
33 And then shall he tremble, and shall look pale, even as if death had come upon him.
34 And then shall ye say: Because of this fear and this paleness which has come upon your face, behold, we know that thou art guilty.
35 And then shall greater fear come upon him; and then shall he confess unto you, and deny no more that he has done this murder.
36 And then shall he say unto you, that I, Nephi, know nothing concerning the matter save it were given unto me by the power of God. And then shall ye know that I am an honest man, and that I am sent unto you from God.
Seantum means "instead, hatred of the one beside."
The verb שנא (sane') is identical to the noun שנא (shena') meaning sleep, save for the symbols that at some point in the middle ages were added to the ancient Hebrew text by the Masoretes to preserve its assumed original pronunciation. Our verb שנא (sane') means to hate and is the antithesis of the verb אהב ('aheb), which means to love.
This latter verb is not as emotionally charged as our English verb to love; it mostly describes a motion towards someone or something in order to acquire it, join with it or become intimately acquainted with it. Our verb שנא (sane') means precisely the opposite: a motion away from someone or something with the intent to disassociate from it and forget about it.
Our verb may describe hate between people (Genesis 26:27, Judges 11:7, Isaiah 60:15) but frequently also of YHWH towards people or some of their behaviors (Amos 6:8, Hosea 9:15, Malachi 2:16).
From this verb derive:
The adjective שניא (sani'), meaning the hated (the hated wife; Deuteronomy 21:15 only).
The feminine noun שנאה (sin'a), meaning a hating or hatred (Numbers 35:20, Deuteronomy 1:27, Proverbs 25:10).
ant= alternative to
um=
The feminine juxtaposition עמה ('umma), meaning against, beside.
Seantum is apparently alighed with Ceezoram, the "faith of the people."
Nephi's objective for sending a delegation to the House of Hatred after the murder of a Chief Judge is to confirm there is evidence of a murder and declare the situation "ritually impure", meaning it wasn't an accident, but the result of a sinful pattern. This is indicated by the presence of the pallor in the subject of the interrogation:
"Most of the parshah of Tazria tells us the laws of diagnosing and quarantining a metzora (leper).
It begins that if a person notices a white patch develop on his skin, he should be brought before a Kohen, and only a Kohen can pronounce a person ritually impure on account of tzaraat.
If the Kohen sees that hair inside the patch changed from its original color to white or that the white patch appears “deeper” than the skin around it,1 it is definitely tzaraat, and he pronounces the person ritually impure. If, however, he doesn't see one of these signs, the Kohen will quarantine the person for seven days.
On the seventh day, the Kohen reexamines the person. If he sees one of the signs or if the patch became bigger, he is pronounced impure. If it becomes smaller or darker than the usual shades of tzaraat,2 it is not tzaraat. If it is the same as it was during the first examination, the Kohen quarantines him for another seven days.
On the seventh day,3 the Kohen reexamines him as before, and the same rules apply, except that this time, if the patch remains the same, it is not tzaraat, and he is pronounced ritually pure.
In a case that the Kohen determined that it was indeed not tzaraat, the person must wash his clothes and go to the mikvah, and he is pure. Even though he is not a metzora, he was considered impure, but at a lesser level of impurity."
One must never have blood on one's clothes. The shedding of blood is forbidden. All of the steps leading to the shedding of blood- hatred, bigotry, homophobia, Pro-Life, Anti-Semitism, transphobia, racism, all of these are ritually impure practices that lead to the shedding of blood and they are also forbidden.
As for how Nephi came to understand all of these things "by the Power of God", the Value in Gematria is 12154, יבאהד, yebah d, similar to obadiah, The verb עבד ('abad) means to work or serve, and the noun עבד ('ebed) denotes someone who works: from a slave to a hired expert. The Greek equivalent of this noun is δουλος (doulos).
This means Nephi is a "skilled worker" who is able to default to the Law and the Spirit interchangeably due to the fact he is very well trained in the Torah and lives in an upright manner that excels at demonstrating said training.
He is the opposing force to a House of Brotherly Hatred.

Beyond the Casement. Jesus and the Old Clothes.
The reason we are fishing deep into the Gospels to learn mysteries of the Christ is to learn, "did God really do these things? Did these things really happen?"
The answer is yes He definitely did them, and He did them again during the revelation of the Book of Mormon. The biggest mystery we are fishing for is how to recognize the God of Israel, the Light of Sentience, wherever He goes and better ourselves, root, branch, and bloom.
Now that we understand this, it should be much easier to decipher the real meanings behind the parables, the Beatitudes, all the symbols and sacraments Jesus instituted using direction from the Torah and Gematria. Parables, due to their metaphorical nature are perfect platforms for illumination with paranthetical references both.
“At its simplest the parable is a metaphor or simile drawn from nature or common life, arresting the hearer by its vividness or strangeness, and leaving the mind in sufficient doubt about its precise application to tease it into active thought.”- C.H. Dodd.
To tease the mind into perfect active thought is the goal of Torah (effort) and Chabad, "analysis" using Gematria, the alegebra that underpins the Hebrew language. All proper spiritual definitions for such thinking in any traditin can be found there. It is especially important for Christianity due to the fact it sprang from the womb Judaism and promptly cut the cord. The cord is not cut.
Jesus Christ was not just a rabbi, a tzaddik or teacher, He was the God of Israel in flesh and Spirit and had an inseparable connection to Himself and His Words. Into the Gematria of the Parables we go.
Gematria reveals what is esoteric or hidden within an apparent set of observations. Parables perform the same role, they tune the judgment to the very highest of spiritual problem solving skills. It is not enough to be told the truth, the truth must be found. Its discovery must be not without an effort, it must be tested and valued. To prove God right is the goal. When this is accomplished, the world becomes capable of skipping ahead many chapters in its current tale of horror and misery.
“Jesus explained that for those who have ears to hear, the parable provides a deeper understanding of Jesus’ teaching. But for those who don’t have ears to hear, the parable is actually an instrument of concealment. The parable was not given simply to make everything clear to people; it was also given to obscure meaning to those who are outside, who are not given understanding. That sounds somewhat harsh. Jesus came not only to instruct and to help people understand the kingdom of God, He came also as a judgment on those who don’t want to hear the truth.”
Matthew 9:16: "The Patch."
16 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse."
Patches are signs of errors in speech which are signs of errors in thinking. One patches the skin or garments when something in the inner mind has malfunctioned and its owner has no couth or discipline and out it goes.
Tags, blemishes, scabs, itchy spots, leprosy, white spots, shiny spots, bald spots, hairy spots, spotty spots, warts, dirty cox, runny holes in front or back, these flaws in one's speech, ranging from exaggerations and lies to blasphemy are all perfectly forbidden by the Torah.
How we turn toward and away from spiritual illnesses contained in profane speech follows:
The Torah sections of Tazria (Leviticus 12–13) and Metzora (Leviticus 14–15) discuss the laws of tzaraat, a spiritual illness. Its identifying mark is a white patch (or patches) appearing on the skin of a person, or a dark green or dark pink patch (or patches) on a cloth or leather garment or on the walls of a home.
Not every such patch indicates tzaraat. There are several secondary symptoms that determine whether the person (or house or garment) should be declared tamei (impure). In the human body, one of the signs of tzaraat is if the white patch subsequently causes (at least) two hairs in its area to turn white.
Regarding this law, there is a remarkable passage in the Talmud that recounts a debate taking place in the Academy of Heaven:
It was debated in the Academy of Heaven: If the white patch precedes the white hair, it is impure; if the white hair precedes the white patch, it is pure; but what if there is doubt (as to which came first)?
The Holy One, Blessed be He, said: It is pure.
The entire Academy of Heaven said: It is impure.
Said they: Who shall decide it for us? Rabbah bar Nachmeini. For Rabbah bar Nachmeini had declared: I am singular[ly knowledgeable] in the laws of tzaraat . . . They dispatched a messenger [to bring him to heaven] . . . Said [Rabbah]: Tahor! Tahor! (Pure, pure!). (Talmud, Bava Metzia 86a)
Flight From Self
To understand the meaning of this debate between the Holy One and the Academy of Heaven, and why a mortal human being was called upon to decide between them, we must first understand the nature of the tzaraat disease in general, and the significance of the white patch and the white hair in particular.
Chassidic teaching explains that the human soul is driven by two contrary forces: the drive to run or escape (ratzo), and the drive to settle (shov).
Every time we are overcome by excitement, love, ambition or yearning, we are running, escaping the self to reach for something greater, more beautiful and perfect than it.
Whenever we experience awe, humility, devotion or commitment, we are settling—affirming our connection to our existence, our place in the world and our mission in life.
Unshrunk cloth is new, shrunk cloth has been worn out. To patch an old garment with the new will not work. The proper pairing of public practices with the Old Law comes first, then we apply the new in its own time.
Jesus was very concerned the Laws of Moses were falling by the wayside even as he was trying rapidly expound upon something never heard before. He advised caution towards rapid changes in the Disciples ideas before they showed much more understanding in themselves and the state of the surrounding community, about which at times they had very little but acted rather hastily nonetheless.
Now to the Gematria: the entire parable returns a value of 785-1, זחה, "crawled" then add a 1, זחהא, Zahaa, "From the verb זהה (zaha), or זתת (zatat), to bloom, to be ready to reproduce."
"They crawled, then they grew."

These are the clans of the Levites listed according to their fathers:
20 Of Gershon:
Libni his son, Jahath his son,
Libni=my whiteness
Jahath=he will deplete
Zimmah his son, 21 Joah his son,

30 Shimea his son, Haggiah his son and Asaiah his son.
Shimei=renown
Haggiah=festal
Asaiah=Yah has made
The Gematria for this section comes from the combination of several queries. First was Zophai, "Honeycomb of Yah" or the "Connected" people of the Kingdom of Israel. Since honeycombs came up yesterday I decided to be more superstitious than normal and follow the threat.
The Gematria says "the Chosen One, One Eight" = my name, Michael (85) = 18=
Yet You Are The Collective Conscience Trapped In Your Own Beast Getting Ready For Eternal Death I Have Been Chosen To Hit The Switch.
It is no coincidence the term collective was returned by the Most High to us through Gematria under these conditions.
Judaism in spite of its emphasis on human evolution and the full partaking of all the advantages and comforts of human accomplishment seems like it just makes people nuts. To collect and connect in this manener in order to be impractical or insane is not of God.
This is also the theme of the Torah Tantra from the above section, which discusses the removal of whitenes, of leprosy from the remnants of the people.
So What Is It?
Tzaraat was an affliction of the skin (or clothing or house) discussed extensively in the Bible (notably the Torah portions of Tazria and Metzora) that would cause the sufferer to become impure and be isolated or “quarantined” from the community.
The sages explain that tzaraat was actually a supernatural affliction that would usually come about due to a number of sins,8 most notably the sin of speaking lashon hara, evil speech.
Maimonides describes how this came about, as well as why the person afflicted had to be isolated:
This change that affects clothes and houses, which the Torah described with the general term of tzaraat, is not a natural occurrence. Instead, it is a sign and a wonder prevalent among the Jewish people to warn them against lashon hara. When a person speaks lashon hara, the walls of his house change color. If he repents, the house will be purified. If, however, he persists in his wickedness until the house is destroyed, the leather implements in his house upon which he sits and lies change color. If he repents, they will be purified. If he persists in his wickedness until they are burnt, the clothes he wears change color. If he repents, they will be purified. If he persists in his wickedness until they are burnt, his skin undergoes changes and he develops tzaraat. This causes him to be isolated and for it to be made known that he must remain alone so that he will not be involved in the talk of the wicked, which is folly and lashon hara . . .9
"To remove the whiteness, the leprosy and bitterness from the people, drive them to the high point, High Noon in the Jewish Saloon, where one is bound, made captive to the Light of Yah.
Go with God, whom God has made strong, may the people contend only with what God has made, may He cure us all of doubt, may we outwit death, may we live with renown."
For those of you who are interested in Jewish astrology, the appearance of hornets, leprous hornets, and honeycoming in our research is strongly indicative of the interest of the messenger angel, Zauriel, the god of hornets, in the future of the People of Israel.
Signs such as these are closely associated with the onset of Mashiach, a time when the Law will culminate and those who are oppressed will no longer be required to live alongside their oppressors.

NEW PARENTS
This week’s double Torah portion, Tazria-Metzora, focuses on laws relating to tumah (spiritual impurity). The first type of tumah addressed is impurity resulting from childbirth. When a woman gives birth she is ritually impure for seven days (for a male baby) or two weeks (for a female baby.) Why does the Torah prescribe a different time period of impurity depending on the gender of the infant? One explanation is that the shorter time period for a male child allows his mother to be purified before the bris milah (covenant of circumcision) on the eighth day.
But why does childbirth convey impurity? Isn’t bringing new life into the world a wondrous event that fulfills the first commandment given to humankind (“be fruitful and multiply”- Gen. 1:28)? Our sages explain that simply being alive is not enough. Our purpose in this world is to acknowledge, love and serve God. Life begins with contamination to teach us that our natural state is lowly and raw. Like an unpolished diamond, a human without God-consciousness isn’t yet a thing of beauty. New parents may feel giddy with joy and pride, but it is also a time for serious reflection. They have a big job ahead of them: helping their child follow the Torah’s commandments and become a devoted servant of the Holy One. May we all embrace our lifelong task of rising above our primeval state and coming closer to God by following His laws with love!
