"When anyone loses hair from his head and is bald, he is clean.
41
If he loses hair from the front of his head and has a bald forehead, he is clean.
42
But if there is a red-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is a skin disease breaking out in those places.
43
A priest must look at that person. If the swelling of the sore on his bald head or forehead is red-white, like a skin disease that spreads,
44
that person has a skin disease. He is unclean. The priest must announce that the person is unclean because of the sore on his head.
45
"If a person has a skin disease that spreads, he must warn other people by shouting, 'Unclean, unclean!' His clothes must be torn at the seams, he must let his hair stay uncombed, and he must cover his mouth.
46
That person will be unclean the whole time he has the disease; he is unclean. He must live alone outside the camp.
47
"Clothing might have mildew on it. It might be clothing made of linen or wool
48
(either woven or knitted), or of leather, or something made from leather.
49
If the mildew in the clothing, leather, or woven or knitted material is green or red, it is a spreading mildew. It must be shown to the priest.
50
The priest must look at the mildew, and he must put that piece of clothing in a separate place for seven days.
