A poor metzora who brought the offering of a wealthy person has fulfilled his obligation. But a wealthy person who brought the offering of a poor person has not fulfilled his obligation. A person may bring the offering of a poor person on behalf of his son, his daughter, his slave or his maidservant, and he [thereby] enables them to eat from offerings. R’ Yehudah says: Just like [a wealthy man must bring for himself the offering of the wealthy] so he must bring for his wife the offering of the wealthy. And the same holds true for any offering in which she is obligated.

[If] the offerings of two metzoraim became mixed up, [and] the offering of one of them was brought and [then] one of [the metzoraim] died. [How does one resolve this predicament?] This is the question that the people of Alexandria asked R’ Yehoshua. He said to them: [The surviving metzora]should sign over his possessions to someone else, and then bring the offering of a poor person.
