he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.
KJV
He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

Commentary
He is a leprous man, he is unclean,.... And so to be pronounced and accounted; only a leprous man is mentioned, there being no leprous women, having this sort of leprosy, their hair not falling off, or they becoming bald, usually; unless, as Ben Gersom observes, in a manner strange and wonderful:
the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; as in any other case of leprosy:
his plague is in his head; an emblem of such who have imbibed bad notions and erroneous principles, and are therefore, like the leper, to be avoided and rejected from the communion of the saints,
Tit 3:10
; and shows that men are accountable for their principles as well as practices, and liable to be punished for them.
