Contextual Overview

47 And, when, in a garment, there is a plague-spot of leprosy, - whether in a garment of wool, or a garment of flax; 48 either in warp or in weft, made with flax, or with wool, - or in a skin, or in anything wrought of skin; 49 and the spot cometh to be of a greenish yellow or reddish, in the garment or in the skin, whether in warp or in weft, or in any utensil of skin, the plague-spot of leprosy, it is, - and shall be shown unto the priest; 50 and the priest shall view the spot, - and shall shut up him that is plagued seven days; 51 then shall he view the spot, on the seventh day if the spot hath spread in the garment whether in warp or in weft, or in the skin, or anything which may be made of skin for service, the spot is a fretting leprosy, unclean, it is. 52 Then shall he burn up the garment whether it be m the warp or the weft in wool or in flax, or any utensil of skin, wherein shall be the plague-spot, - for, a fretting leprosy, it is, in fire, shall it be burnt up. 53 But if the priest shall take a view, and lo! the spot has not spread, in the garment, either in warp or in weft, - or in any utensil of skin, 54 then shall the priest give command, and they shall wash that wherein is the spot, - and he shall shut it up seven days more; 55 then shall the priest take a view after the plagued garment hath been washed and lo! if the spot hath not changed its look, then though the spot hath not spread, yet unclean, it is, in the fire, shalt thou burn it up, - a sunken spot, it is, in the back thereof, or in the front thereof. 56 And, if the priest hath taken a view, and lo! the spot is, faint, since it hath been washed, then shall he rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, whether out of the warp or out of the weft;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if the plague be greenish or reddish the garment, or in the skin,.... Either of these two colours were signs of leprosy in garments; but it is not agreed whether stronger or weaker colours are designed; the radicals of both these words being doubled, according to some, and particularly Aben Ezra, lessen the sense of them; and so our translators understand it; but, according to Ben Gersom, the signification is increased thereby, and the meaning is, if it be exceeding green or exceeding red; and this is evidently the sense of the Misnah p; garments are defiled by green in greens, and by red in reds, that is, by the greenest and reddest; the green, the commentators say q, is like that of the wings of peacocks and leaves of palm trees, and the red like crimson or scarlet; and now these garments or skins, in which the green or red spots appeared, must be white, and not coloured or dyed: the canon runs thus r; skins and garments dyed are not defiled with plagues (of leprosy); a garment whose warp is dyed, and its woof white, or its woof dyed, and its warp white, all goes according to the sight; that is, according to what colour to the eye most prevails, whether white or dyed:

either in the warp or in the woof, or in anything of the skin; the same held good of these as of a garment, or anything else made of them:

it [is] a plague of leprosy; it has the signs of one, and gives great suspicion that it is one:

and shall be shewed unto the priest; by the person in whose possession it is, that it may be examined and judged of whether it is a leprosy or no.

p Misn. Negaim, c. 11. sect. 4. q Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn. Edaiot, c. 7. sect. 8. r Misn. ut supra, (c.11.) sect. 3, 4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Rather, “And the clothing in which there is a stroke of leprosy, whether the stroke is in clothing of wool or in clothing of linen; or in yarn for warp or in yarn for woof, either for linen clothing or for woolen clothing; or in a skin of leather or in any article made of leather.”
