Chapter 13
47
And if there is a stroke of צָרָעַת in a garment, in a garment of wool or in a garment of flax:
48
or in wool or in linen of flax and wool or in hide or in any work of hide.
49
And it will be that the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the skin or in the wool or in the linen or in any vessel of skin—it is a leprous plague—and he shall show it to the priest.
50
And the priest sees the infection and isolates the infected person for seven days.
51
And he sees the plague on the seventh day—if the plague has spread in the garment or in the warp or in the woof or in the leather, for any work that the leather does for work, it is leprosy from a plague; it is unclean.
52
He shall burn the garment or the linen or the עֵרֶב in wool or in flax or any leather vessel in which the plague is, for it is a צָרַעַת memu'eret; you shall burn it in fire.
53
And if the priest sees that the plague has not spread in the garment or in the fine linen or in the leather or in any leather vessel,
54
The priest commanded, and they washed that in which was the plague-spot, and they isolated it seven days a second time.
55
And the priest shall see the plague after the washing, and behold, the plague has not changed its appearance and the plague has not spread; it is unclean; you shall burn it with fire. It is a sunken spot in his baldness or in his scab.
56
If the priest saw, and behold, the plague/mark was dim after washing it, he tore it from the garments or from the skin or from the wool or from the linen/mixed multitude.
57
And if it has still flowered in the garment or in the linen or in the wool or in any leather article, you shall burn it with fire, that which has the plague.
58
The garment or the sheti or the erhev or any skin vessel which you wash and the nega' departs from them, and you wash a second time, and it is tahar.
59
This is the law of the mark of leprosy in a garment of wool or of linen or of yarn or of skin or any vessel of skin, to purify it or to make it unclean.
