Context of Leviticus 13:46

44the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head. 45A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’ As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 46Dwell alone - More properly, dwell apart; that is, separated from the people.
