Context of Leviticus 13:46

44he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his sore is in his head. 45And as to the leper in whom the sore is, — his garments shall be rent, and his head shall be uncovered, and he shall put a covering on his beard, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean!

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

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 45-46Verses 45-46 When the priest had pronounced the leper unclean, it put a stop to his business in the world, cut him off from his friends and relations, and ruined all the comfort he could have in the world.
