and the priest shall pronounce him clean. ³⁸ And if there be a man or a woman having in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots; ³⁹ And if the priest do see, and, behold, there are in the skin of their flesh bright spots, pale and white: it is a freckly eruption grown in the skin; he is clean. ⁴⁰ And if there be a man whose hair of the head fall off, he is a bald head; he is clean. ⁴¹ And if from the side of his face his hair fall off, he is forehead-bald; he is clean. ⁴² But if there be on the bald head, or the bald forehead, an eruption, white and dark red: it is the leprosy sprung up on his bald head, or his bald forehead. ⁴³ And the priest shall see him; and, behold, if the swelling of the eruption be white and dark red on his bald head, or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of the leprosy on the other parts of the skin of the flesh: ⁴⁴ He is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall pronounce him unclean; his plague is on his head. ⁴⁵ And the leper on whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head shall be bare, and he shall cover himself up to his upper lip, and, Unclean, unclean, shall he call out. ⁴⁶ All the days whereon the plague which rendereth unclean is on him, he shall be unclean; alone shall he dwell; without the camp shall his habitation be.
