Regulations About Mildew

47 " If any clothing is contaminated with mildew-any woolen or linen

clothing, 48 any woven or knitted material of linen or wool, any leather or

anything

made of leather- 49 and if the contamination in the clothing, or leather, or

woven or knitted material, or any leather article, is greenish or reddish, it

is a spreading mildew and must be shown to the priest. 50 The priest is to

examine the mildew and isolate the affected article for seven days. 51 On the

seventh day he is to examine it, and if the mildew has spread in the

clothing, or the woven or knitted material, or the leather, whatever its use,

it is a

destructive mildew; the article is unclean. 52 He must burn up the clothing,

or the woven or knitted material of wool or linen, or any leather article

that has the contamination in it, because the mildew is destructive; the

article must be burned up.

53 " But if, when the priest examines it, the mildew has not spread in the

clothing, or the woven or knitted material, or the leather article, 54 he shall

order that the contaminated article be washed. Then he is to isolate it for

another seven days. 55 After the affected article has been washed, the

priest is to examine it, and if the mildew has not changed its appearance, even

though it has not spread, it is unclean. Burn it with fire, whether the mildew

has affected one side or the other. 56 If, when the priest examines it, the

mildew has faded after the article has been washed, he is to tear the

contaminated part out of the clothing, or the leather, or the woven or knitted

material. 57 But if it reappears in the clothing, or in the woven or knitted

material, or in the leather article, it is spreading, and whatever has the

mildew

must be burned with fire. 58 The clothing, or the woven or knitted material, or

any leather article that has been washed and is rid of the mildew, must be

washed again, and it will be clean. "

59 These are the regulations concerning contamination by mildew in woolen or

linen clothing, woven or knitted material, or any leather article, for

pronouncing them clean or unclean.
