The same word 'sojourn' is used in the context of living in a particular place in Genesis (47:9). Jacob told Pharaoh: “The days of the years of my sojourns have been a hundred and thirty years.” Why did Jacob use the term 'sojourn' to describe the number of years he lived upon this earth?

ImageThe Bible talks about all types of Tzara’at (leprosy) including Tzara’at that inflicts buildings. The Torah relates, “G-d spoke to Moses and Aaron saying: when you arrive to the land of Canaan that I give you as a possession, and I will place Tzara’at affliction upon a house in the land of your possession…. the Cohen shall command, and they shall remove the stones that contain affliction, and they shall cast them outside the city in a contaminated place”.
