Leviticus 13:45-59

45“As for the person who has the leprous infection, his clothes shall be torn and 1the hair of his head shall be 2uncovered, and he shall 3cover his 4mustache and call out, ‘5Unclean! Unclean!’ 46He shall remain unclean all the days during which he has the infection; he is unclean. He shall live alone; he shall live 6outside the camp.

47“When a garment has 7a mark of leprosy in it, whether it is a wool garment or a linen garment, 48whether in 8warp or 9woof, of linen or of wool, whether in leather or in any article made of leather, 49if the 10mark is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather, whether in the 11warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, it is a leprous 12mark and it shall be shown to the priest. 50Then 13the priest shall look at the mark and shall 14quarantine the article with the mark for seven days. 51He shall then look at the mark on the seventh day; if the mark has spread in the garment, whether in the 15warp or in the woof, or in the leather, whatever the purpose for which the leather is used, the mark is a 16leprous malignancy, it is unclean. 52So he shall burn the garment, whether it is the 17warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or any article of leather, in which the mark occurs; for it is a 18leprous malignancy. It shall be burned in the fire.

53“But if the priest looks, and indeed the mark has not spread in the garment, either in the 19warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, 54then the priest shall order them to wash the thing in which the mark occurs, and he shall 20quarantine it for seven more days. 55After the article with the mark has been washed, the priest shall again look, and if the mark has not changed its appearance, even if the mark has not spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire, whether an eating away has produced bareness on the back or on the front of it.

56“But if the priest looks, and indeed the mark has faded after it has been washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment or out of the leather, whether from the 21warp or from the woof; 57yet if it appears again in the garment, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, it is an outbreak; the article with the mark shall be burned in the fire. 58But the garment, whether the warp or the woof, or any article of leather from which the mark has disappeared when you washed it, shall then be washed a second time and will be clean.”

59This is the law for the mark of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of leather, for pronouncing it clean or unclean.
