Tzara'at of the house is one of three types of afflictions mentioned in the parshiyot of Tazria-Metzora. However, it is mentioned separately from the other two, and has distinct characteristics. What causes the affliction of this type of tzara'at? Why does the first verse in the description of tzara'at of the house sound like the herald of some auspicious declaration or promise? What is the connection between tzara'at of the house and the entrance into the land of Israel?
