Leviticus 13:57 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:57

And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or
in the woof, or in anything of skin
After the piece has been rent out, in another part of the garment where before it was not seen: it [is] a spreading [plague];
or leprosy; a flourishing one, as the word signifies, a growing and increasing one: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague [is] with fire;
according to Aben Ezra, only that part in which the plague was; but Jarchi says the whole garment; with whom Ben Gersom seems to agree, who reads the words, thou shall burn it, with that in which the plague is; the whole garment, skin, warp, or woof, along with the part in which the leprosy is.

Leviticus 13:57 In-Context

55 And the priest shall examine [it] after the infection has been washed off, and {if} the infection has not changed its outward appearance and the infection has not spread, it [is] unclean; he must burn it in the fire; it [is] a fungus on its back or on its front.

56 But if the priest examines [it] and {if} the infection [is] faded after it has been washed off, then he shall tear it from the garment or from the leather or from the woven material or from the fabric.

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.
