A Compassionate Distinction
Commentators explain that this verse makes a careful, compassionate distinction between natural baldness and a leprous disease. While baldness might have been viewed negatively, God's law clarifies that it does not, by itself, make a person ritually unclean. This shows that the diagnostic laws were precise and not intended to exclude people for normal physical conditions.
