"When a man loses his hair and goes bald, he is clean.
41
If he loses his hair from his forehead, he is bald and he is clean.
42
But if he has a reddish-white sore on scalp or forehead, it means a serious skin disease is breaking out.
43
The priest is to examine it; if the swollen sore on his scalp or forehead is reddish-white like the appearance of the sore of a serious skin disease,
44
he has a serious skin disease and is unclean. The priest has to pronounce him unclean because of the sore on his head.
45
"Any person with a serious skin disease must wear torn clothes, leave his hair loose and unbrushed, cover his upper lip, and cry out, 'Unclean! Unclean!'
46
As long as anyone has the sores, that one continues to be ritually unclean. That person must live alone; he or she must live outside the camp.
47
"If clothing - woolen or linen clothing,
48
woven or knitted cloth of linen or wool, leather or leatherwork - is infected with a patch of serious fungus
49
and if the spot in the clothing or the leather or the woven or the knitted material or anything made of leather is greenish or rusty, that is a sign of serious fungus. Show it to the priest.
50
The priest will examine the spot and then confiscate the material for seven days.
