47 "As for any fabric that is spoiled with a defiling mold-any woolen or linen clothing,
47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
47 "When there is a case of leprous disease in a garment, whether a woolen or a linen garment,
47 "If clothing - woolen or linen clothing,
47 "Also, if a garment has a leprous plague in it, whether it is a woolen garment or a linen garment,
47 "Now suppose mildew contaminates some woolen or linen clothing,
48 any woven or knitted material of linen or wool, any leather or anything made of leather-
48 Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
48 in warp or woof of linen or wool, or in a skin or in anything made of skin,
48 woven or knitted cloth of linen or wool, leather or leatherwork - is infected with a patch of serious fungus
48 whether it is in the warp or woof of linen or wool, whether in leather or in anything made of leather,
48 woolen or linen fabric, the hide of an animal, or anything made of leather.
(Read Leviticus 13:47-59)
The garment suspected to be tainted with leprosy was not to be burned immediately. If, upon search, it was found that there was a leprous spot, it must be burned, or at least that part of it. If it proved to be free, it must be washed, and then might be used. This also sets forth the great evil there is in sin. It not only defiles the sinner's conscience, but it brings a stain upon all he has and all that he does. And those who make their clothes servants to their pride and lust, may see them thereby tainted with leprosy. But the robes of righteousness never fret, nor are moth-eaten.
52 He must burn the fabric, the woven or knitted material of wool or linen, or any leather article that has been spoiled; because the defiling mold is persistent, the article must be burned.
52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
52 And he shall burn the garment, or the warp or the woof, the wool or the linen, or any article made of skin that is diseased, for it is a persistent leprous disease. It shall be burned in the fire.
52 He must burn the garment. Because of the persistent and contaminating fungus, the material must be burned.
52 He shall therefore burn that garment in which is the plague, whether warp or woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather, for it is an active leprosy; the garment shall be burned in the fire.
52 The priest must burn the item-the clothing, the woolen or linen fabric, or piece of leather-for it has been contaminated by a serious mildew. It must be completely destroyed by fire.
