??? ???? ???? ?????, ???? ?????: ?????, ??-????

The ???? is already booted out of the camp, so what is the meaning of ?????, ??-???? (bringing him to the kohen)?

It is known that whomever speaks Lashon Hara about someone else, the speaker loses all his mitzvos and Torah and it is given to the one he spoke about.

This is a remez in the passuk. ??? ???? ???? ?????, this is what occurs to the Torah of the ?????, ??-????, This Torah becomes a zechus to the Kohen, i.e. the tzaddik whom the lashon hara was spoken about.

Why does the Torah use the term Kohen? Since most lashon hara is spoken about the true leaders, tzaddikim, Kohanim…
