Leviticus 13 — Context

51

And on the seventh day, having looked at it again, if he detects an increase, it is a persistent leprosy; he shall judge the garment to be polluted, along with everything with which it has been found.

52

And because of this, it shall be burned in flames.

53

But if he will have seen that it has not increased,

54

he shall instruct them, and they shall wash whatever has the leprosy in it, and he shall close it up for another seven days.

55

And when he will have seen that the former appearance has not returned, even if the leprosy has not increased, he shall judge it to be unclean, and he shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has been infused in the exterior of the garment, or throughout the whole.

56

But if the place of the leprosy has become somewhat darker, after the garment has been washed, he shall tear it away, and separate it from the part that is sound.

57

But if, after this, there will appear in those places which before were immaculate, a flying and wandering leprosy, it must be burned with fire.
