These blemishes, whether permanent or temporary, render a man unfit. To them [must be] added in the case of man: One whose head is wedge shaped, or turnip shaped, or hammer shaped, or whose head is sunken, or whose occiput is flat. Hunchbacks —- R’ Yehudah declares them fit, but the Sages declare them unfit.

A bald-headed man is unfit. Who is regarded as a bald-headed man? Whoever has no ring of hair circling from ear to ear; but if he has, he is fit. [If] he has no eyebrows, [or] if he has but one eyebrow —- he is the gibben mentioned in the Torah. R’ Dosa says: [It is] one whose eyebrows hang down. R’ Chananiah ben Antignos says: One who has two backs and two spines.

The charum is unfit. What is a charum? One who can paint both his eyes with one movement. Both his eyes are [set] high, or both eyes are [set] low, [or] one eye is [set] high, or one eye is [set] low, [or] he focuses on the lower story and the upper story simultaneously, [or] one who cannot bear the sun, [or] one who has unmatched limbs, or watery eyes [is unfit]. One whose eyelashes fell out is unfit for reasons of unsightliness.

[One] whose eyes are as large as a calf’s, or as small as those of a goose; [or] whose body is too large for his limbs, or too small for his limbs; [or] whose nose is too large for his limbs, or too small for his limbs; [or] the tzimmem, or the tzimmea. What is a tzimmea? One whose ears are [too] small. And the tzimmem? One whose ears resemble a sponge.
