Leviticus 13:39 ; Leviticus 13:42. If the spots be darkish white When there was no other symptom but that of whiteness in the skin, the priest was to be cautious not to pronounce it a leprosy, unless the spots were perfectly bright; for if there was any cloudiness in them, it was not a leprosy. And he is informed that a man's losing his hair by sickness or age, which made him bald, must not be taken for a sign of leprosy. But, (Leviticus 13:42,) If there were a white reddish sore It was a sign that such baldness came not from age, nor any accident, but from the leprosy.
