Levítico 13:41

41 Y si a la parte de su rostro se le pelare la cabeza, es calvo por delante, pero limpio

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.

Levítico 13:41 In-Context

39 el sacerdote mirará: y si en la piel de su carne parecieren manchas blancas algo oscurecidas, es empeine que brotó en la piel, está limpia la persona

40 Y el varón, cuando se le pelare la cabeza, es calvo, mas limpio

41 Y si a la parte de su rostro se le pelare la cabeza, es calvo por delante, pero limpio

42 Mas cuando en la calva o en la antecalva hubiere llaga blanca bermeja, lepra es que brota en su calva o en su antecalva

43 Entonces el sacerdote lo mirará, y si pareciere la hinchazón de la llaga blanca bermeja en su calva o en su antecalva, como el parecer de la lepra de la tez de la carne
