answer correct, in answer to my own question? The singled out case infers that if it is scalp or chin hair that has turned white, the afflicted person is actually not ritually impure, thus creating some leniency. Reply

question Beautiful presentation! Question: In discussing rule #10, it was stated that, in regards to tzara'at, we infer that the singled out case is "more lenient, for the stringency in the general statement that white hair is a sign of ritual impurity does not apply here." I'm misunderstanding this, as it sounds more stringent- those with yellow hair are also ritually impure, as covered in inference #2. How is inference #1 more lenient? Reply
