Leviticus 13:59 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:59

This [is] the law of the plague of leprosy
The rules by which it was to be judged of; whether or no it was in a garment of woollen, or linen, either the warp or woof, or any
thing of skins;
which include everything in which this sort of leprosy was: to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean;
either to declare it free from the plague of the leprosy, or as infected with it, and so accordingly dispose of it.

Leviticus 13:59 In-Context

57 And if it appear still in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a [leprosy] breaking out: thou shalt burn with fire that wherein the sore is.

58 But the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin which thou hast washed, and the sore departeth from them, it shall be washed a second time, and it is clean.

59 This is the law of the sore of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, to cleanse it, or to pronounce it unclean.
