And indeed, the halachah is that the melikah does not take place at the north side of the Mizbeach, but rather on the Mizbeach itself.7 The Korbanot of Nachshon ben Aminadav Taking the discussion further, Meshech Chochmah uses this idea to explain yet another parsha in the Torah. The Parsha of Tazria enumerates the various types of tzoraat that can affect a person, beginning with tzoraat of the (skin of) the body12 and proceeding from there to tzoraat of the head.13 Within that parsha, there is a halachah which applies to all of the above types of tzoraat, but which is mentioned in the later section dealing with tzoraat of the head, namely, the requirement that the metzora must be sent out of the Camp.14 Here, too, we ask: Why did the Torah wait until it describes a later type of tzoraat before telling us a halachah which applies to all types?
