Vayikra 13:47-56 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

47. When a garment has the nega tzara'at in it, whether it be a wool garment, or a linen garment;

48. Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of wool; whether in a leather, or in anything made of leather;

49. And if the nega be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of leather, it is a nega tzara'at, and shall be shown unto the kohen;

50. And the kohen shall examine the nega, and quarantine it that hath the nega shivat yamim;

51. And he shall examine the nega on the yom hashevi'i; if the nega be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a leather, or in any work that is made of leather, the nega is a malignant tzara'at; it is tamei.

52. He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in wool or in linen, or any thing of leather, wherein the nega is; for it is a malignant tzara'at; it shall be burned in the eish.

53. And if the kohen shall examine, and, hinei, the nega be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of leather,

54. Then the kohen shall command that they wash the thing wherein the nega is, and he shall quarantine it another shivat yamim;

55. And the kohen shall examine the nega, after that it is washed; and, hinei, if the nega has not changed its appearance, and the nega be not spread, it is tamei; thou shalt burn it in the eish; whether the eating away hath brought bareness in the front or back.

56. And if the kohen examine, and, hinei, the nega be somewhat faded after the washing of it, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the leather, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;
