Leviticus 13:40–51

⁴⁰ Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean. ⁴¹ Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean. ⁴² But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it. ⁴³ The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white like a skin disease, ⁴⁴ the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head. ⁴⁵ A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’ ⁴⁶ As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp. ⁴⁷ If any fabric is contaminated with mildew —any wool or linen garment, ⁴⁸ any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather— ⁴⁹ and if the mark in the fabric, leather, weave, knit, or leather article is green or red, then it is contaminated with mildew and must be shown to the priest. ⁵⁰ And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days. ⁵¹ On the seventh day the priest shall reexamine it, and if the mildew has spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather, then regardless of how it is used, it is a harmful mildew; the article is unclean.
