1 tn Heb “And a man, when his head is rubbed bare, he is bald-headed.” The translation offered here, referring to the back of the head (i.e., the area from the top of the head sloping backwards), is based on the contrast between this condition and that of the following verse. See also B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 82.
2 tn Heb “And if from the front edge of his face, his head is rubbed bare.” See the note on v. 40 above.
3 tn The rendering “balding in front” corresponds to the location of the bareness at the beginning of the verse.
