  • Lev 13:47-59 : 47 If a piece of clothing has a mark of mildew, whether it is a garment of wool or linen, 48 or in the warp or woof of the linen or wool cloth, or in leather, or in any article made of leather, 49 and the mark is greenish or reddish in the garment, leather, warp, or woof, or in any leather article, it is a case of spreading mildew, and it must be shown to the priest. 50 The priest will examine the mark and isolate the affected item for seven days. 51 On the seventh day, he will reexamine it. If the mark has spread in the garment, warp, woof, or leather, whatever the use of the leather, it is a destructive mildew and is unclean. 52 The garment, warp, woof, or any leather item that has the mark must be burned, for it is a destructive mildew; the item must be burned in the fire. 53 But if the priest inspects it and the mark has not spread in the garment, warp, woof, or leather article, 54 the priest is to order the affected item to be washed. He is to isolate it for another seven days. 55 After it has been washed, the priest will inspect it again. If the mark has not changed its appearance, even though it has not spread, it is unclean. Burn it, whether the affected part is on the inside or outside. 56 If, after it has been washed, the priest finds that the mark has faded, he is to tear the affected part out of the garment, leather, warp, or woof. 57 But if the mark reappears on the garment, whether in the warp or woof, or in any leather article, it is spreading. You must burn the item with fire, whatever has the mark on it. 58 If, after being washed, the mark disappears from the garment, warp, woof, or leather article, it must be washed again, and it will be clean. 59 This is the law concerning any mark of mildew on a wool or linen garment, whether in the warp or woof, or on any leather article, to determine whether it is clean or unclean.
