Leviticus 13:42-49 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

42. But if a pinkish infection occurs on the bald spot or on the bald forehead, it is an infectious skin disease that sprouts on his bald spot or on his bald forehead.

43. So the priest shall examine him, and if the infection’s swelling is pinkish on his bald spot or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of an infectious skin disease on the body,

44. he is a man afflicted with a skin disease—he is unclean; the priest certainly shall declare him unclean—his infection is on his head.

45. “As for the person who is afflicted with a skin disease, his garments must be torn and his hair must be allowed to hang loosely, and he must cover his upper lip, and he must call out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

46. For all the days during which the infection is on him, he shall be unclean; he must live alone; his dwelling must be outside the camp.”

47. “And when the garment has an infectious skin disease on it, on a wool garment or on a linen garment,

48. or on woven material or on a linen fabric, or on wool or on leather or on any work of leather,

49. and if the infection is yellowish green or reddish on the garment or on the leather or on the woven material or on the fabric or on any leather object, it is an infectious skin disease and it shall be shown to the priest.
