Regulations About Contaminated Fabrics
47 "And when the garment {has} an infectious skin disease on it, on a wool garment or on a linen garment,
48
or on woven material or on a linen fabric, or on wool or on leather or on any work of leather,
49
and [if] the infection is yellowish green or reddish on the garment or on the leather or on the woven material or on the fabric or on any leather object, it [is] an infectious skin disease and it shall be shown [to] the priest.
50
And the priest shall examine the infection, and he shall confine the infected article [for] seven days.
51
And he shall examine the infection on the seventh day; if the infection has spread on the garment or on the woven material or on the fabric or on the leather, for any work for which the leather is used, the infection [is] a destructive skin disease--it [is] unclean.
52
And he shall burn the garment or the woven material or the fabric, {whether wool or linen}, or any leather object that {has} the infection, because it [is] an infectious skin disease, [which is] destructive--it must be burned in the fire.
53
"But if the priest examines [it] and {if} the infection has not spread on the garment or on the woven material or on the fabric or on any leather object,
54
then the priest shall command, and {someone} shall wash that on which the infection [is], and he shall confine it [a] second [time] [for] seven days.
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.
