39. if the priest, upon examination, finds that the blotches on the skin are pale white, it is only tetter that has broken out on the skin, and the person therefore is clean.
40. When a man loses the hair of his head, he is simply bald on the crown and not unclean.
41. So too, if he loses the hair on the front of his head, he is simply bald on the forehead and not unclean.
42. But when there is a reddish white infection on his bald crown or bald forehead, it is a scaly infection that is breaking out there.
43. If the priest, upon examination, finds that the infection spot on the bald area on the crown or forehead has the same reddish white appearance as that of a scaly infection of the skin,
44. the man has a scaly infection and is unclean. The priest shall declare him unclean; his infection is on his head.
45. The garments of one afflicted with a scaly infection shall be rent and the hair disheveled, and the mustache covered. The individual shall cry out, “Unclean, unclean!”
46. As long as the infection is present, the person shall be unclean. Being unclean, that individual shall dwell apart, taking up residence outside the camp.
