Leviticus 13:54-56

New International Reader's Version

⁵⁴ Then he will order someone to wash the thing with the mold on it. After that, the priest must keep that thing away from everything else for another seven days. ⁵⁵ After the thing with the mold on it has been washed, the priest must look at it again carefully. Suppose the way the mold looks has not changed. Then even though the mold has not spread, it is ‘unclean.’ Burn it. It does not matter which side of the thing the mold is on. ⁵⁶ But suppose the priest looks at it carefully. And suppose the mold has faded after the thing has been washed. Then the priest must tear out the part with mold on it. He must tear it out of the clothes or leather. He must tear it out of the woven or knitted cloth.
