כָּל הַמּוּמִין הַמְיֻחָדִין בָּאָדָם תִּשְׁעִים וְזֶהוּ פְּרָטָן. שְׁמוֹנָה בָּרֹאשׁ וְאֵלּוּ הֵן. מִי שֶׁאֶמְצַע קָדְקֳדוֹ שׁוֹקֵעַ לְמַטָּה כְּמוֹ שֶׁדְּחָקוֹ בְּיָדוֹ. מִי שֶׁאֶמְצַע קָדְקֳדוֹ עוֹלֶה לְמַעְלָה כְּמוֹ בֵּיצָה. מִי שֶׁפְּאַת רֹאשׁוֹ יוֹצֵא כְּנֶגֶד פָּנָיו כְּמוֹ מַקֶּבֶת. מִי שֶׁרֹאשׁוֹ יוֹצֵא מֵאֲחוֹרָיו כְּנֶגֶד עָרְפּוֹ. מִי שֶׁרֹאשׁוֹ רָחָב וְיוֹצֵא מִכָּאן וּמִכָּאן עַד שֶׁתִּמְצָא רֹאשׁוֹ עַל צַוָּארוֹ כְּמוֹ רֹאשׁ הַלֶּפֶת עַל הֶעָלִין שֶׁלּוֹ. הַקֵּרֵחַ שֶׁאֵין בְּכָל רֹאשׁוֹ שֵׂעָר כָּל עִקָּר. וְאִם יֵשׁ בּוֹ שִׁיטָה שֶׁל שֵׂעָר מֻקֶּפֶת מֵאֲחוֹרָיו מֵאֹזֶן לְאֹזֶן כָּשֵׁר. מִי שֶׁהָיָה הַשֵּׂעָר מַקִּיף מֵאֹזֶן לְאֹזֶן מִלְּפָנָיו בִּלְבַד וּשְׁאָר הָרֹאשׁ קֵרֵחַ הוּא הֲרֵי הוּא פָּסוּל. מִי שֶׁהָיָה הַשֵּׂעָר שֶׁלּוֹ מַקִּיף אֶת כָּל הָרֹאשׁ סָבִיב מִלְּפָנָיו וּמֵאַחֲרָיו וְאֵין שָׁם שֵׂעָר בְּאֶמְצַע גַּם זֶה קֵרֵחַ וּפָסוּל:
There are a total of 90 physical blemishes that [disqualify] humans alone. In particular, they are: There are eight involving the head: a) one who has the center of his forehead depressed below as if it was pushed down with one's hand; b) one who has the center of his forehead raised up above, like an egg; c) one who has the sides of his head emerge toward his face like a hammer; d) one whose head projects outward abnormally from his neck; e) one whose head is abnormally large to the extent that it sits on his neck like a turnip on top of its leaves; f) one who is bald and has no hair whatsoever on his head. If, however, he has a row of hair extending across the back of his head from ear to ear, it is acceptable. g) a person's whose hair extends from ear to ear on the front of his head, but he is bald on the remainder of his head, he is unacceptable; h) a person whose hair extends around his entire head from the front and the back, but he has no hair on the top of his head.
