Context of Leviticus 13:47
45A person with this disease must tear his clothes. He must not comb his hair. He must cover the lower part of his face. He must shout, “I am not clean.” 46He must be alone all the time that he has a disease. He must live outside the camp. Clothes might become bad because of mildew. 48People might have made the clothes from wool, linen or leather. 49If the mark in the clothes is green or red, the mildew is growing. People must show these clothes to the priest.
