or in the warp or woof of the linen or the wool, or in leather or anything made of leather,

In the two courtyards of the Lord’s temple he built altars for all the stars in the sky.

Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobility, and your princes feast at the proper time – with self-control and not in drunkenness.

In the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

But if the priest examines it and the infection has not spread in the garment or in the warp or in the woof or in any article of leather,

I prayed, “O my God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift my face to you, my God! For our iniquities have climbed higher than our heads, and our guilt extends to the heavens.

In the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me:

In the twelfth year of our exile, in the tenth month, on the fifth of the month, a refugee came to me from Jerusalem saying, “The city has been defeated!”

if the infection in the garment or leather or warp or woof or any article of leather is yellowish green or reddish, it is a diseased infection and it must be shown to the priest.

He must then examine the infection on the seventh day. If the infection has spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the leather – whatever the article into which the leather was made – the infection is a malignant disease. It is unclean.

Then if it still appears again in the garment or the warp or the woof, or in any article of leather, it is an outbreak. Whatever has the infection in it you must burn up in the fire.
