And the priest shall look upon the plague The green or red spot in the garment
and shut up [it that hath] the plague seven days; the woollen or linen garment, the warp or the woof, or skins, and those things that were made of them.

woven or knitted cloth of linen or wool, leather or leatherwork - is infected with a patch of serious fungus
49
and if the spot in the clothing or the leather or the woven or the knitted material or anything made of leather is greenish or rusty, that is a sign of serious fungus. Show it to the priest.
50
The priest will examine the spot and then confiscate the material for seven days.
51
On the seventh day he will reexamine the spot. If it has spread in the garment - the woven or knitted or leather material - it is the spot of a persistent serious fungus and the material is unclean.
52
He must burn the garment. Because of the persistent and contaminating fungus, the material must be burned.
