52 because the mildew has spread.” Then he will burn the clothing or the piece of leather.
53 If the priest discovers that the mildew hasn't spread,
54 he will tell you to wash the clothing or leather and put it aside for another seven days,
55 after which he will examine it again. If the spot hasn't spread, but is still greenish or reddish, the clothing or leather is unclean and must be burnt.
56 But if the spot has faded after being washed, he will tear away the spot.
57 Later, if the spot reappears elsewhere on the clothing or the leather, you must burn it.
58 Even if the spot completely disappears after being washed, it must be washed again before it is clean.
