Levítico 13:41 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:41

And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his
head towards his face
That is, from the crown of his head towards his forehead and temples, the fore part of his head; and so the Misnic doctors distinguish baldness, which is from the crown of the head descending behind to the channel of the neck; and that here mentioned, which is from the crown of the head descending to his face and forehead, over against the hair above ^F24: he [is] forehead bald;
to distinguish him from him that is bald behind: [yet is] he clean;
as the other: these cases are observed, that it might not be concluded that every man that shed his hair or was bald either before or behind was a leper, because the hair of a leper used to fall off from him; if he had not the other signs of leprosy, and which were the sure and true signs of it before mentioned.

40 Quando a cabeça do homem se pelar, ele é calvo; contudo é limpo.

41 E, se a frente da sua cabeça se pelar, ele é meio calvo; contudo é limpo.

42 Mas se na calva, ou na meia calva, houver praga branca tirando a vermelho, é lepra que lhe está brotando na calva ou na meia calva.

43 Então o sacerdote o examinará, e se a inchação da praga na calva ou na meia calva for branca tirando a vermelho, como parece a lepra na pele da carne,
