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 appears again on the garment or on the woven material or on the fabric or on any leather object, it [is] spreading; you must burn in the fire that which [has] the infection in it.

58 And the garment or the woven material or the fabric or any leather object that he might wash and the infection is removed from them then shall be washed [a] second [time], and it shall be clean."

59 This [is] the regulation of the infectious skin disease in the wool garment or the linen or the woven material or the fabric or any leather object to declare it clean or to declare it unclean.
