If anyone loses the hair from his head, he is bald but he is clean.
41
If he loses the hair from his forehead and temples, he has baldness of the forehead but he is clean.
42
But if there is on the bald head or the bald forehead a reddish-white diseased spot, it is a leprous disease breaking out on his bald head or his bald forehead.
43
The priest shall examine him; if the diseased swelling is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, which resembles a leprous disease in the skin of the body,
44
he is leprous, he is unclean. The priest shall pronounce him unclean; the disease is on his head.
45
The person who has the leprous disease shall wear torn clothes and let the hair of his head be disheveled; and he shall cover his upper lip and cry out, "Unclean, unclean."
46
He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease; he is unclean. He shall live alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp.
47
Concerning clothing: when a leprous disease appears in it, in woolen or linen cloth,
48
in warp or woof of linen or wool, or in a skin or in anything made of skin,
49
if the disease shows greenish or reddish in the garment, whether in warp or woof or in skin or in anything made of skin, it is a leprous disease and shall be shown to the priest.
50
The priest shall examine the disease, and put the diseased article aside for seven days.
