47. The garment also that the disease of leprosy [symbolic of sin] is in, whether a wool or a linen garment, [Jude 23; Rev. 3:4.]
48. Whether it be in woven or knitted stuff or in the warp or woof of linen or of wool, or in a skin or anything made of skin,
49. If the disease is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in a skin or in the warp or woof or in anything made of skin, it is the plague of leprosy; show it to the priest.
50. The priest shall examine the diseased article and shut it up for seven days.
51. He shall examine the disease on the seventh day; if [it] is spread in the garment, or in the article, whatever service it may be used for, the disease is a rotting or corroding leprosy; it is unclean.
52. He shall burn the garment, whether diseased in warp or woof, in wool or linen, or anything made of skin; for it is a rotting or corroding leprosy, to be burned in the fire.
53. But if the priest finds the disease has not spread in the garment, in the warp or the woof, or in anything made of skin,
54. Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more.
