Parashat

Leviticus 14:1-15:33; 2 kings 7:3-20; Matthew 23:16-24:2

“The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When any man has a bodily discharge, the discharge is unclean”. (Lev. 15:1-2 )

May a ritually unclean person approach the Eternal?

When HaShem gave these laws of ritual impurity, He not only spoke to Moshe rabbenu but also with Aharon Hacohen (cf. Lev. 13:1; 14:33; 15:1), because Aharon represents the sanctuary in a special way.
