47. “Now about clothing—if there is a green or red area on a piece of clothing
48. that is woven or knitted from linen or wool or on any leather article,
49. it is mildew. It must be shown to the priest.
50. The priest will examine the mildew and will put the clothing in a separate place for seven days.
51. On the seventh day he will examine the area again. If the spot is spreading, it is unclean.
52. He must burn the piece of clothing or the leather article because the mildew is growing.
53. But if the priest sees that the area has not spread,
54. he must order the area to be washed and put the clothing in a separate place for seven more days.
55. The priest will examine the area again after it is washed. If it doesn’t look any different and the mildew has not spread, it is still unclean. It must be burned, whether the area is on the outside or the inside.
