Leviticus 13:59 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 13:59

This [is] the law of the plague of leprosy
The rules by which it was to be judged of; whether or no it was in a garment of woollen, or linen, either the warp or woof, or any
thing of skins;
which include everything in which this sort of leprosy was: to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean;
either to declare it free from the plague of the leprosy, or as infected with it, and so accordingly dispose of it.

Leviticus 13:59 In-Context

57 If the spot later reappears on the clothing, the fabric, or the leather article, the mildew is clearly spreading, and the contaminated object must be burned up.
58 But if the spot disappears from the clothing, the fabric, or the leather article after it has been washed, it must be washed again; then it will be ceremonially clean.
59 “These are the instructions for dealing with mildew that contaminates woolen or linen clothing or fabric or anything made of leather. This is how the priest will determine whether these items are ceremonially clean or unclean.”
