Leviticus 13:58 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:58

And the garment, either warp or woof, or whatsoever thing of
skin [it be], which thou shalt wash
After it had been shut up seven days, and viewed by the priest again: if the plague be departed from them: upon a review of them: then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean;
and so reckoned even thoroughly clean, and used; this denotes the thorough washing and cleansing of sinners by the blood of Jesus, see ( Psalms 51:2 ) ; this washing was by dipping; and so the Targum renders it; and Jarchi observes, that all washings of garments, which are for dipping, they interpret by the same word.

Leviticus 13:58 In-Context

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.
