Heb. head is pilled.
Lev. 13:41• 41And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean. (Lev. 13:41)

Song of Sol. 5:11• 11His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. (Song of Sol. 5:11)

Rom. 6:12,19• 12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
 19I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. (Rom. 6:12,19)

• {v.40-42} Another case comes next, which there was still less reason to confound with leprosy. Weakness is nothing of the sort. A man's hair might fall off his head in general, or from the parts of his head toward his face. He might be bald, or forehead bald; but in either instance it was no more than infirmity; and infirmity is not sin, any more than sin should be called infirmity as is too often done. The apostle gloried in his infirmities, his trials and sufferings. No saint could make light of a single sin; still less could he glory in sins. Whoever does so proclaims himself a leper; and his pretension to be a saint is utter delusion. (“Priesthood 24. Leprosy of the Head or the Beard: Leviticus 13:29-44” by W. Kelly)
