He must burn the garment, the woven or knitted fabric of wool or linen, or any leather article that has the contamination, because the mold is destructive; the article must be burned.
In context
50The priest is to examine the mold and isolate the affected article for seven days. 51On the seventh day he is to examine it, and if the mold has spread on the garment, the woven or knitted fabric, or the leather, whatever its use, it is a destructive mold; the article is unclean. 52He must burn the garment, the woven or knitted fabric of wool or linen, or any leather article that has the contamination, because the mold is destructive; the article must be burned. 53But if, when the priest examines it, the mold has not spread in the garment, the woven or knitted fabric, or the leather article, 54the priest is to order the contaminated article washed, and isolate it for another seven days.
