Who were the four men?

1.

Rashi (from Sanhedrin 107b): They were Gechazi and his three sons. Malbim - Elisha healed the other Metzora'im. He healed Na'aman (a Nochri), and all the more so [Yisrael] Metzora'im 1 ! Also the girl who told Na'aman about Elisha, surely she knew that he normally cured people!

What is his Kal v'Chomer? A Yisrael should understand that Tzara'as is a punishment; when he repents, he will be cured! (PF)

2)

Why were they at the opening of the gate?

1.

Rashi: "Badad Yeshev mi'Chutz la'Machaneh Moshavo" 1 (Vayikra 13:46). Radak - they would normally be [just] outside the city.


1

Malbim (citing Kelim 1:7): This forbids them to be in a walled city. (Really, "Badad Yeshev" also forbids Metzora'im to dwell together (Zevachim 117a)! - PF)

3)

What is the meaning of "Ad Masnu"?

1.

Radak: It is like Ad Asher Masnu (until we will die).
