45 ‘Anyone with such a defiling disease must wear torn clothes, let their hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of their face and cry out, “Unclean! Unclean!”
46 As long as they have the disease they remain unclean. They must live alone; they must live outside the camp.
47 ‘As for any fabric that is spoiled with a defiling mould – any woollen or linen clothing,
48 any woven or knitted material of linen or wool, any leather or anything made of leather –
49 if the affected area in the fabric, the leather, the woven or knitted material, or any leather article, is greenish or reddish, it is a defiling mould and must be shown to the priest.
50 The priest is to examine the affected area and isolate the article for seven days.
51 On the seventh day he is to examine it, and if the mould has spread in the fabric, the woven or knitted material, or the leather, whatever its use, it is a persistent defiling mould; the article is unclean.
