Parshas Tazria/Metzora
The chazal bring down a possuk Tain chelek lishiva vigam lishmona. They
explain this means if you keep the mitzvah of niddah which is seven days, you will have a
boy which has his circumcision on the eighth day. What then does the end of the possuk
refer to by saying ki lo saida ma raa yiheyeh baretz, since you do not know
what bad will happen in the land?
The Ksav Sofer explains, even though there are reasons for mitzvohs and you can do the
mitzvah of niddah for practical reasons still the proper way is to do it because Hashem
commanded. The possuk ends with since you do not know what bad will happen so
therefore you are not doing it because of fear of bad things happening.
