          כי מתו כל האנשים

Rashi quotes the Gemoro in Nedarim 64b that מתו refers to losing all their money, because

   ד' חשובין כמת, עני ,ומצורע ,וסומא ושאין לו בנים

The   ר"ן (7b) explains how  we know that

they lost their money and not they became

  מצורעים . because it says  during the Machlokes

of Korach they were **בקרב כל ישראל

Had they have been מצורעים they would

have been מחוץ למחנה . Even though during

Matan Torah all  of Bnei Yisroel were healed

(so it’s possible to have been a מצורע in

Mitzrayim and by Korach healed and Tahor.)

This can’t be, because during the  מעשה עגל

all  original sicknesses  etc. returned.

Therefore we must say since they were not

מצורעים during Korach they were also not

מצורעים in Mitzrayim.

The Sheilos Sholom*** on the Sheiltos (P.Metzora)

asks, The Mishna in Nega’im Perek 7 learns

from a Pasuk, If someone had a  צרעת before

Matan Torah he does not become Tomei after

Matan Torah. According to the Ran after the

עגל must be considered as a פנים חדשות and

not as the original from before Matan Torah.

therefore they would have been Tomei.

If so,for when does the Torah exclude a  צרעת

from before Matan Torah.(to beTahor)

From Matan Torah till the עגל  there were no מצורעים

 After the עגל we say that it is considered a new צרעת

and he would be טמא. So what is the Pasuk teaching

us?
