Leviticus 13:47-52, New Living Translation

Treatment of Contaminated Clothing

47 "Now suppose an infectious mildew[4][Traditionally rendered leprosy. The Hebrew term used throughout this passage is the same term used for the various skin diseases described in 13:1-46.] contaminates some woolen or linen clothing,
48 some woolen or linen fabric, the hide of an animal, or anything made of leather.
49 If the affected area in the clothing, the animal hide, the fabric, or the leather has turned bright green or a reddish color, it is contaminated with an infectious mildew and must be taken to the priest to be examined.
50 After examining the affected spot, the priest will put it away for seven days.
51 On the seventh day the priest must inspect it again. If the affected area has spread, the material is clearly contaminated by an infectious mildew and is unclean.
52 The priest must burn the linen or wool clothing or the piece of leather because it has been contaminated by an infectious mildew. It must be completely destroyed by fire.
