Leviticus 13:53 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:53

And if the priest shall look
On the seventh day as before, after shutting up:

and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the
warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;
but is at an entire stay, that it may be hoped it is not a fretting leprosy: so when men do not proceed to more ungodliness, as wicked men commonly do, but there is a stop put to their vicious life and conversation, it is an hopeful sign of future good.

Leviticus 13:53 In-Context

51 The priest is to reexamine the contamination on the seventh day. If it has spread in the fabric, the warp, the woof, or the leather, regardless of how it is used, the contamination is harmful mildew; it is unclean.

52 He is to burn the fabric, the warp or woof in wool or linen, or any leather article, which is contaminated. Since it is harmful mildew it must be burned up.

53 "When the priest examines [it], if the contamination has not spread in the fabric, the warp or woof, or any leather article,

54 the priest is to order whatever is contaminated to be washed and quarantined for another seven days.

55 After it has been washed, the priest is to reexamine the contamination. If the appearance of the contaminated article has not changed, it is unclean. Even though the contamination has not spread, you must burn up the fabric. It is a fungus on the front or back [of the fabric].
