Context of Leviticus 13:48
46As long as they have the skin disease, they are unclean. They must live outside the camp. 47“Now about clothing—if there is a green or red area on a piece of clothing that is woven or knitted from linen or wool or on any leather article, 49it is mildew. It must be shown to the priest. 50The priest will examine the mildew and will put the clothing in a separate place for seven days.
