Leviticus 13:45-59

45A diseased personH5061H6879 must wear torn clothesH899H1961H6533 and let his hairH7218H1961 hang looseH6544H5921,1 and he must coverH5844 his mouthH8222 and cry outH7121, ‘UncleanH2931, uncleanH2931!’ 46AsH3605 long asH3117 he has the infectionH5061, he remainsH2930H1931H910 uncleanH2931. He must live aloneH3427 in a placeH4186 outsideH2351 the campH4264.

47IfH3588 any fabricH899 isH1961 contaminatedH5061 with mildewH68832—any woolH6785 orH176H899 linenH6593 garmentH899, 48any weaveH8359 orH176 knitH6154 of linenH6593 or woolH6785, orH176 any article of leatherH5785H176H3605— 49and if the markH5061 in the fabricH899, leatherH5785, weaveH8359, knitH6154, orH176 leatherH5785 articleH3627 isH1961 greenH3422 orH176 redH125, then it isH1931 contaminatedH5061 with mildewH6883 and must be shownH7200 to the priestH3548. 50And the priestH3548 is to examineH7200 the mildewH5061 and isolateH5462 the contaminatedH5061 fabric for sevenH7651 daysH3117.

51On the seventhH7637 dayH3117 the priest shall reexamineH7200 itH853, and ifH3588 the mildewH5061 has spreadH6581 in the fabricH899, weaveH8359H176, knitH6154H176, orH176 leatherH5785, then regardless ofH3605 howH834 itH5785 is usedH6213H4399, it is a harmfulH3992 mildewH6883; the article is uncleanH2931. 52He is to burnH8313 the fabricH899, weaveH8359, orH176 knitH6154, whetherH176 the contaminated itemH834H1961H5061 is woolH6785 or linenH6593H176 orH176 leatherH5785. SinceH3588 the mildewH6883 is harmfulH3992, the article must be burned upH784H8313.

53But whenH518 the priestH3548 reexamines itH7200, ifH2009 the mildewH5061 has notH3808 spreadH6581 in the fabricH899, weaveH8359, knitH6154H176, orH176 leatherH5785 articleH3627, 54the priestH3548 is to orderH6680 theH834 contaminatedH5061 article to be washedH3526 and isolatedH5462 for anotherH8145 sevenH7651 daysH3117. 55AfterH310 it has been washedH3526, the priestH3548 is to reexamine itH7200, and ifH2009 the mildewedH5061 articleH5061 has notH3808 changedH2015 in appearanceH5869, itH1931 is uncleanH2931. Even though the mildewH5061 has notH3808 spreadH6581, you must burn itH8313H784, whetherH1931 the rot isH6356 on the frontH1372 orH176 backH7146.

56IfH518 the priestH3548H2009 examines itH7200 and the mildewH5061 has fadedH3543 afterH310 it has been washedH3526, he must cut the contaminated section outH7167 ofH4480 the fabricH899, leatherH5785, weaveH8359H176H4480, orH176H4480 knitH6154. 57But ifH518 it reappearsH7200H5750 in the fabricH899, weaveH8359, orH176 knitH6154H176, orH176 on anyH3605 leatherH5785 articleH3627, itH1931 is spreadingH6524. You must burnH8313H784 the contaminatedH5061 articleH834.

58If the mildewH5061 disappearsH5493 from the fabricH899, weaveH8359, orH176 knitH6154H176, orH176 anyH3605 leatherH5785 articleH3627 afterH834 washingH3526, then it is to be washedH3526 againH8145, and it will be cleanH2891.

59ThisH2063 is the lawH8451 concerning a mildewH6883 contaminationH5061 in woolH6785 orH176 linenH6593 fabricH899, weaveH8359, orH176 knitH6154, orH176 anyH3605 leatherH5785 articleH3627, for pronouncing it cleanH2891 orH176 uncleanH2930.”
