Leviticus 13:47-48

Infections in Garments, Cloth, or Leather

13:47 “When a garment has a diseased infection in it, ¹  whether a wool or linen garment, ²  13:48 or in the warp or woof ³  of the linen or the wool, or in leather or anything made of leather, ⁴ 

[13:47]  ¹ tn Heb “And the garment, if there is in it a mark of disease.”

[13:47]  ² tn Heb “in a wool garment or in a linen garment.”

[13:48]  ³ sn The warp (vertical) and woof (horizontal) thread may be two different sets of thread not yet woven together, or they may refer to two different kinds of thread already woven, in which case one might have the disease in it while the other does not. See the explanation in J. Milgrom, Leviticus (AB), 1:809-10.

[13:48]  ⁴ tn Heb “in any handiwork of skin” (cf. KJV, ASV, NRSV); most other modern English versions have “leather.”
