Leviticus 13:40

38 When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,

39 the priest shall examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.

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.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
