Baldness distinguished from disease

Examining Skin and Garments · Leviticus 13

Story guide: A white-linen priest examines two dignified bald adult men: one has ordinary smooth baldness and stands reassured, while the other shows one restrained whitish-red spot at the hairline and receives a sober unclean finding. Use spacing and gesture to distinguish the outcomes. No mockery, grotesque lesion, blood, pus, gore, exposed torso, labels, or crowd.

40If a man loses the hair of his head, he is bald; he is clean.

41And if the front of his head becomes bald, he is bald on the forehead; he is clean.

42But if there is on the bald head or on the bald forehead a white-reddish diseased spot, it is a spreading skin disease on his bald head or on his bald forehead.

43and the priest examines him, and behold, the swelling of the disease is whitish-red on his bald head or on his bald forehead, like the appearance of a skin disease on the flesh,

44He is a leprous man; he is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean; his disease is on his head.
