The tzara'as mentioned in the Torah is a spiritual condition that comes to help a person atone for his sins. Leprosy, a medical condition, comes as a result of inappropriate life styles.
12:6 - An Olah and a Chatas.
12:6 - A tur (turtle dove) or a ben yona (young pigeon).
13:14 - The tzara'as as a whole must be seen at one time. Since these parts are angular, they cannot be seen at one time.
13:14 - During the festivals, and when the afflicted person was newly married, during the seven days of feasting after the marriage.
13:46 - Since tzara'as is a punishment for Lashon Harah (evil speech), which creates a rift between people, the Torah punishes "mida k'neged mida" (measure for measure) by placing a division between him and others.
13:52 - It must be burned.
When a person commits certain sins, a spiritual impurity occurs. There is a spark of Kedusha within the person that cannot tolerate sin. At one time, the Kedusha within the person would reject this impurity by pushing it to the surface and the skin eruption of Tzara'as would appear. As time went on, the level of Kedusha within people decreased, so that a person no longer has the power to reject the spiritual impurities caused by sin and tzara'as ceased.
