Leviticus 13:35-45 New English Translation (NET)

35. If, however, the scall spreads further on the skin after his purification,

36. then the priest is to examine it, and if the scall has spread on the skin the priest is not to search further for reddish yellow hair. The person is unclean.

37. If, as far as the priest can see, the scall has stayed the same and black hair has sprouted in it, the scall has been healed; the person is clean. So the priest is to pronounce him clean.

38. “When a man or a woman has bright spots – white bright spots – on the skin of their body,

39. the priest is to examine them, and if the bright spots on the skin of their body are faded white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin. The person is clean.

40. “When a man’s head is bare so that he is balding in back, he is clean.

41. If his head is bare on the forehead so that he is balding in front, he is clean.

42. But if there is a reddish white infection in the back or front bald area, it is a disease breaking out in his back or front bald area.

43. The priest is to examine it, and if the swelling of the infection is reddish white in the back or front bald area like the appearance of a disease on the skin of the body,

44. he is a diseased man. He is unclean. The priest must surely pronounce him unclean because of his infection on his head.

45. “As for the diseased person who has the infection, his clothes must be torn, the hair of his head must be unbound, he must cover his mustache, and he must call out ‘Unclean! Unclean!’
