47 In case a garment comes to have the contagion of a leprous mold in it, in a woollen garment or in a flaxen garment,
48 in the spun yarn or in the woven piece of flax and of wool, in leather or in any leather work,
49 and the contagion becomes greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather or in the spun yarn or in the woven piece or in any article of leather, it is the contagion of leprous mold, and it is to be shown to the priest.
50 The priest will examine the contagion and enclose the contagious thing seven days.
51 Then he will examine the contagion on the seventh day. In case the contagion has diffused in the garment, in the spun yarn or in the woven piece, in leather of any workmanship which is made of leather, the contagion is a festering leprous mold; it is unclean.
52 He will burn the garment or the spun yarn or the woven piece, in wool or in flax or any article of leather in which the contagion comes to be, for it is a festering leprous mold. In fire shall it be burned.
53 When the priest examines, and behold, the contagion has not diffused in the garment, in the spun yarn or in the woven piece or in any article of leather,
54 then the priest will instruct them, and they will rinse that which had the contagion in it, and he will enclose it a second seven days.
55 Then the priest will examine after the contagion has been rinsed, and behold, if the contagion has not turned its visible appearance even though the contagion has not diffused, it is unclean. With fire shall you burn it whether it is pitted in its back or in its front.
56 When the priest examines, and behold, the contagion is inconspicuous after it has been rinsed, he will tear it from the garment or from the leather, from the spun yarn or from the woven piece.
57 Yet if it should still appear in the garment, in the spun yarn or in the woven piece or in any article of leather, it is budding out. With fire shall you burn that which has the contagion in it.
58 As to the garment, the spun yarn or the woven piece, or any article of leather which you are rinsing when the contagion withdraws from it, it will be rinsed a second time; then it will be clean.
59 This is the law of the contagion of leprous mold in a woollen or flaxen garment, the spun yarn or the woven piece, or any article of leather, for pronouncing it clean or for pronouncing it unclean.
