Leviticus 13:44-46
New English Translation

44 he is a diseased man. He is unclean. The priest must surely pronounce him unclean because of his infection on his head.[a]

The Life of the Person with Skin Disease

45 “As for the diseased person who has the infection,[b] his clothes must be torn, the hair of his head must be unbound, he must cover his mustache,[c] and he must call out ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ 46 The whole time he has the infection[d] he will be continually unclean. He must live in isolation, and his place of residence must be outside the camp.

Footnotes

  1. Leviticus 13:44 tn Or perhaps translate, “His infection [is] on his head,” as a separate independent sentence (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV). There is no causal expression in the Hebrew text connecting these two clauses, but the logical relationship between them seems to be causal.
  2. Leviticus 13:45 tn Heb “And the diseased one who in him is the infection.”
  3. Leviticus 13:45 tn Heb “and his head shall be unbound, and he shall cover on [his] mustache.” Tearing one’s clothing, allowing the hair to hang loose rather than bound up in a turban, and covering the mustache on the upper lip are all ways of expressing shame, grief, or distress (cf., e.g., Lev 10:6 and Micah 3:7).
  4. Leviticus 13:46 tn Heb “All the days which the infection is in him.”
