I'm going through this parsha now with Rabbi Gordon's classes and I'm struggling to understand why the Torah goes into such detail with biblical leprosy and all commandments related to it.
For most things that have to do with purity, it seem's like there's much less info in the written torah and we need to look into the oral law to understand further. So why does the Torah pick to go into such detail for this specific section of purity related to lashon hara-(Ieprosy).
