"If a man loses the hair of his head, he is bald, but he is clean.
41
Or if he loses the hair at his hairline, he is bald on his forehead, but he is clean.
42
But if there is a reddish-white infection on the bald head or forehead, it is a skin disease breaking out on his head or forehead.
43
The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white, like the appearance of a skin disease on his body,
44
the man is afflicted with a skin disease; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean; the infection is on his head.
45
"The person afflicted with an infectious skin disease is to have his clothes torn and his hair hanging loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, 'Unclean, unclean!'
46
He will remain unclean as long as he has the infection; he is unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.
Contaminated Fabrics
47 "If a fabric is contaminated with mildew-in wool or linen fabric,
48
in the warp or woof of linen or wool, or in leather or anything made of leather-
49
and if the contamination is green or red in the fabric, the leather, the warp, the woof, or any leather article, it is a mildew contamination and is to be shown to the priest.
50
The priest is to examine the contamination and quarantine the contaminated fabric for seven days.
