The Law Concerning Leprous Garments

47 “Also, if a garment has a1 leprous plague in it, whether it is a woolen garment or a linen garment,  
48 whether it is in the warp or woof of linen or wool, whether in leather or in anything made of leather,
49 and if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in anything made of leather, it is a leprous1 plague and shall be shown to the priest.  
50 The priest shall examine the plague and isolate that which has the plague seven days.
51 And he shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, in the leather or in anything made of leather, the plague is an aactive leprosy. It is unclean.  
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.

Leviticus 13:47

The garment also - The whole account here seems to intimate that the garment was fretted by this contagion; and hence it is likely that it was occasioned by a species of small animals, which we know to be the cause of the itch; these, by breeding in the garments, must necessarily multiply their kind, and fret the garments, i. e., corrode a, portion of the finer parts, after the manner of moths, for their nourishment. See Leviticus 13:52 (note).
