און ער האָט געבראַכט דעם בריװ צו דעם מלך פֿון ישׂראל, אַזױ צו זאָגן: און אַצונד, װי דער דאָזיקער בריװ קומט צו דיר, אָט האָב איך דיר געשיקט מײַן קנעכט נַעֲמָנען, זאָלסטו אים אױסהײלן פֿון זײַן צרעת.
Rashi
Saying, “Now when this letter reaches, etc.” The letter said to him, “And now, when this letter reaches, etc.”
Rashi
Arrange to cure him of this tzora’as. ‘אֲסֵפָה’ [=gathering], pertaining to a metzora, is an expression of his cure, because when he is cured, he is [once again] gathered in among people, but during his illness, everyone stays away from him.4The Torah forbids a metzora to dwell within the camp of Yisroel. See Vayikra 13:46. However, even among the other nations a metzora is excluded from the general community until he is cured.
