47If a garment has a plague of leprosy in a garment of wool or in a garment of flax,48or in warp or in mixture belonging to the flax and to the wool, or in skin or in any work of skin,49and the plague appears greenish or reddish in the garment or in the skin or in the warp or in the mixture or in any article of skin, it is a plague of leprosy, and it shall be shown to the priest.50The priest shall examine the plague and shall isolate the plague for seven days.51He shall examine the plague on the seventh day; if the plague has spread in the garment or in the warp or in the mixture or in the skin wherever the skin has been made into work, the plague is a maligning leprosy and it is unclean.52He shall burn the garment or the warp or the mixture, whether in wool or in flax, or any article of the skin in which the plague is present, because it is a maligning leprosy; it shall be burned in the fire.53If the priest examines it and, behold, the plague has not spread in the garment or in the warp or in the mixture or in any article of skin,54the priest shall command that what contains the plague be washed, and he shall isolate it for seven days a second time.55After it has been washed, the priest shall examine the plague; if the plague has not changed its appearance and has not spread, it is unclean and shall be burned in the fire; it is a spreading in its bald spot or in its bald spot.56If the priest examines it and, behold, the plague has faded after it has been washed, he shall tear it out of the garment or out of the skin or out of the warp or out of the mixture.57If it is still seen in the garment or in the warp or in the mixture or in any article of skin, it is sprouting; what contains the plague shall be burned in the fire.58The garment or the warp or the mixture or any article of the skin that has been washed, if the plague has departed from them, shall be washed a second time and shall be clean.59This is the instruction concerning a plague of leprosy in a garment of wool or of flax or of warp or of mixture or of any article of skin, whether to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.
