Leviticus 13:45

“As for the diseased person who has the infection, ¹  his clothes must be torn, the hair of his head must be unbound, he must cover his mustache, ²  and he must call out ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

Ge 37:29; Le 10:6; Le 21:10; 2Sa 13:19; Job 1:20; Job 42:6; Ps 51:3,5; Isa 6:5; Isa 52:11; Isa 64:6; Jer 3:25; Jer 36:24; La 4:15; Eze 24:17,22; Joe 2:13; Mic 3:7; Lu 5:8; Lu 7:6,7; Lu 17:12

¹ tn Heb “And the diseased one who in him is the infection.”

² 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).
