“If a fabric is contaminated with mildew—in wool or linen fabric,

and if the contamination is green or red in the fabric, the leather, the warp, the woof, or any leather article, it is a mildew contamination and is to be shown to the priest.

The priest is to reexamine the contamination on the seventh day. If it has spread in the fabric, the warp, the woof, or the leather, regardless of how it is used, the contamination is harmful mildew; it is unclean.

He is to burn the fabric, the warp or woof in wool or linen, or any leather article, which is contaminated. Since it is harmful mildew it must be burned up.

“This is the law concerning a mildew contamination in wool or linen fabric, warp or woof, or any leather article, in order to pronounce it clean or unclean.”

“When you enter the land of Canaan that I am giving you as a possession, and I place a mildew contamination in a house in the land you possess,

the owner of the house is to come and tell the priest: Something like mildew contamination has appeared in my house.

the priest must come and examine it. If the contamination has spread in the house, it is harmful mildew; the house is unclean.

“This is the law for any skin disease or mildew, for a scaly outbreak,

for mildew in clothing or on a house,

to determine when something is unclean or clean. This is the law regarding skin disease and mildew.”
