״אֲשֶׁר נָשִׂיא יֶחֱטָא״ — פְּרָט לְנָשִׂיא שֶׁנִּצְטָרַע.

English: “When a nasi sins” — excluding a nasi who became a metzora.

In the sugya: The verse is read as excluding a nasi who has been removed from office by reason of tzara’at and thereafter sins.

Type of Learning

Miyut of metzora nasi — a nasi who contracts tzara’at and loses office does not bring the nasi offering for later sins.

What Is Learned

A nasi who becomes a metzora is stripped of his office for the duration of the impurity. Any subsequent shegagah is treated as that of a private individual; the special nasi chatas is not brought for sins committed after the loss of status.
