Leviticus 13:36-46

36 then the Kohen shall examine him; and, behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the Kohen shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.
37 But if in his eyes the itch is arrested, and black hair has grown in it; the itch is healed, he is clean. The Kohen shall pronounce him clean.
38 "When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots;
39 then the Kohen shall examine them; and, behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash, it has broken out in the skin; he is clean.
40 "If a man's hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.
41 If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald. He is clean.
42 But if there is in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
43 Then the Kohen shall examine him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the flesh,
44 he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The Kohen shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.
45 "The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, 'Unclean! Unclean!'
46 All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. Outside of the camp shall be his dwelling.
