Fungal Infection of Fabrics and Leather. ⁴⁷ When a fungal infection is on a garment of wool or of linen, ⁴⁸ or on the warp and woof^[a] of linen or wool, or on a hide or anything made of leather, ⁴⁹ if the infection on the garment or hide, or on the warp or woof, or on any leather article is greenish or reddish, the thing is indeed a fungal infection and must be examined by the priest. ⁵⁰ Having examined the infection, the priest shall quarantine the infected article for seven days. ⁵¹ If the priest, upon inspecting the infection on the seventh day, finds that it has spread on the garment, or on the warp or woof, or on the leather, whatever be its use, the infection is a harmful fungus; the article is unclean. ⁵² He shall therefore burn up the garment, or the warp or woof, be it of wool or linen, or any leather article which is infected; since it is a harmful fungus, it must be destroyed by fire. ⁵³ But if the priest, upon examination, finds that it has not spread on the garment, or on the warp or woof, or on the leather article, ⁵⁴ he shall give orders to have the infected article washed and then quarantined for another seven days. ⁵⁵ If the priest, upon examination after the infection was washed, finds that it has not changed its color, even though it may not have spread, the article is unclean. You shall burn it with fire. It is a fray, be it on its inner or outer side. ⁵⁶ But if the priest, upon examination, finds that the infection has faded after the washing, he shall cut it out of the garment, or the leather, or the warp or woof. ⁵⁷ If, however, the infection again appears on the garment, or on the warp or woof, or on the leather article, it is still virulent and you shall burn the thing infected with fire. ⁵⁸ But if, after the washing, the infection has disappeared from the garment, or the warp or woof, or the leather article, the thing shall be washed a second time, and thus it will be clean.
