וחז"ל דרשו שלושתן על מלת "והתגלח" (תחת "וגלחו") (תזריע קלא). וכל זה כפי הכלל שיתבאר לקמן (כלל ריב)

**Ayelet Hashachar, translated by Betzalel Avraham Feinstein, 2021:**
And the sages of blessed memory interpret these three things about the word והתגלח (then he shall be shaven)⁶² (instead of וגלחו). And all of this is according to Rule 212 explained below.

*Leviticus 13:33 says,*והתגלח ואת הנתק לא יגלח והסגיר הכהן את הנתק שבעת ימים שנית*(then he shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that has the scall seven days more), using the word*והתגלח*for “then he shall be shaven”. The sages interpret this word to mean that:*

*He shaves himself.*

*It does not have to be with a razor. It just has to look as if he shaved with a razor.*

*That he is to always shave, even in times when he might think he does not have to shave, like when he takes a vow to become a*נזיר*(a religious ascetic)⁶³.*
