Leviticus 13:42-49 Common English Bible (CEB)

42. But whenever there is a reddish-white infection in the bald spot or in the receding hairline, it is a case of skin disease breaking out there.

43. The priest must examine it. If the swelling of the infection is reddish white in the bald spot or receding hairline and resembles skin disease on the body,

44. the person is afflicted with skin disease; they are unclean. The priest must declare them unclean on account of the head infection.

45. Anyone with an infection of skin disease must wear torn clothes, dishevel their hair, cover their upper lip, and shout out, "Unclean! Unclean!"

46. They will be unclean as long as they are infected. They are unclean. They must live alone outside the camp.

47. Whenever there is an infection of skin disease on clothing—on wool or linen clothing,

48. in the weaving of the linen or wool, or on a skin or skin item—

49. and the infection is greenish or reddish on the clothing, the weaving, or the skin or skin item, it is an infection of skin disease. It must be shown to the priest.
