וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֖ן לֵאמֹֽר׃ 1
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying,
אָדָ֗ם כִּֽי־יִהְיֶ֤ה בְעֹור־בְּשָׂרֹו֙ שְׂאֵ֤ת אֹֽו־סַפַּ֙חַת֙ אֹ֣ו בַהֶ֔רֶת וְהָיָ֥ה בְעֹור־בְּשָׂרֹ֖ו לְנֶ֣גַע צָרָ֑עַת וְהוּבָא֙ אֶל־אַהֲרֹ֣ן הַכֹּהֵ֔ן אֹ֛ו אֶל־אַחַ֥ד מִבָּנָ֖יו הַכֹּהֲנִֽים׃ 2
“When a man shall have a rising in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of tzara'at, then he shall be brought to Aaron [Light-bringer] the priest, or to one of his sons, the priests:
וְרָאָ֣ה הַכֹּהֵ֣ן אֶת־הַנֶּ֣גַע בְּעֹֽור־הַ֠בָּשָׂר וְשֵׂעָ֨ר בַּנֶּ֜גַע הָפַ֣ךְ ׀ לָבָ֗ן וּמַרְאֵ֤ה הַנֶּ֙גַע֙ עָמֹק֙ מֵעֹ֣ור בְּשָׂרֹ֔ו נֶ֥גַע צָרַ֖עַת ה֑וּא וְרָאָ֥הוּ הַכֹּהֵ֖ן וְטִמֵּ֥א אֹתֹֽו׃ 3
and the priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body: and if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of tzara'at; and the priest shall examine him, and pronounce him unclean.
וְאִם־בַּהֶרֶת֩ לְבָנָ֨ה הִ֜וא בְּעֹ֣ור בְּשָׂרֹ֗ו וְעָמֹק֙ אֵין־מַרְאֶ֣הָ מִן־הָעֹ֔ור וּשְׂעָרָ֖ה לֹא־הָפַ֣ךְ לָבָ֑ן וְהִסְגִּ֧יר הַכֹּהֵ֛ן אֶת־הַנֶּ֖גַע שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִֽים׃ 4
If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
וְרָאָ֣הוּ הַכֹּהֵן֮ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַשְּׁבִיעִי֒ וְהִנֵּ֤ה הַנֶּ֙גַע֙ עָמַ֣ד בְּעֵינָ֔יו לֹֽא־פָשָׂ֥ה הַנֶּ֖גַע בָּעֹ֑ור וְהִסְגִּירֹ֧ו הַכֹּהֵ֛ן שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִ֖ים שֵׁנִֽית׃ 5
The priest shall examine him on the seventh day, and, behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested, and the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.
וְרָאָה֩ הַכֹּהֵ֨ן אֹתֹ֜ו בַּיֹּ֣ום הַשְּׁבִיעִי֮ שֵׁנִית֒ וְהִנֵּה֙ כֵּהָ֣ה הַנֶּ֔גַע וְלֹא־פָשָׂ֥ה הַנֶּ֖גַע בָּעֹ֑ור וְטִהֲרֹ֤ו הַכֹּהֵן֙ מִסְפַּ֣חַת הִ֔יא וְכִבֶּ֥ס בְּגָדָ֖יו וְטָהֵֽר׃ 6
The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day; and behold, if the plague has faded, and the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
וְאִם־פָּשֹׂ֨ה תִפְשֶׂ֤ה הַמִּסְפַּ֙חַת֙ בָּעֹ֔ור אַחֲרֵ֧י הֵרָאֹתֹ֛ו אֶל־הַכֹּהֵ֖ן לְטָהֳרָתֹ֑ו וְנִרְאָ֥ה שֵׁנִ֖ית אֶל־הַכֹּהֵֽן׃ 7
But if the scab spreads on the skin, after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.
וְרָאָה֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וְהִנֵּ֛ה פָּשְׂתָ֥ה הַמִּסְפַּ֖חַת בָּעֹ֑ור וְטִמְּאֹ֥ו הַכֹּהֵ֖ן צָרַ֥עַת הִֽוא׃ פ 8
The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is tzara'at.
נֶ֣גַע צָרַ֔עַת כִּ֥י תִהְיֶ֖ה בְּאָדָ֑ם וְהוּבָ֖א אֶל־הַכֹּהֵֽן׃ 9
“When the plague of tzara'at is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;
וְרָאָ֣ה הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְהִנֵּ֤ה שְׂאֵת־לְבָנָה֙ בָּעֹ֔ור וְהִ֕יא הָפְכָ֖ה שֵׂעָ֣ר לָבָ֑ן וּמִֽחְיַ֛ת בָּשָׂ֥ר חַ֖י בַּשְׂאֵֽת׃ 10
and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white rising in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the rising,
צָרַ֨עַת נֹושֶׁ֤נֶת הִוא֙ בְּעֹ֣ור בְּשָׂרֹ֔ו וְטִמְּאֹ֖ו הַכֹּהֵ֑ן לֹ֣א יַסְגִּרֶ֔נּוּ כִּ֥י טָמֵ֖א הֽוּא׃ 11
it is a chronic tzara'at in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is already unclean.
וְאִם־פָּרֹ֨וחַ תִּפְרַ֤ח הַצָּרַ֙עַת֙ בָּעֹ֔ור וְכִסְּתָ֣ה הַצָּרַ֗עַת אֵ֚ת כָּל־עֹ֣ור הַנֶּ֔גַע מֵרֹאשֹׁ֖ו וְעַד־רַגְלָ֑יו לְכָל־מַרְאֵ֖ה עֵינֵ֥י הַכֹּהֵֽן׃ 12
“If the tzara'at breaks out all over the skin, and the tzara'at covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest;
וְרָאָ֣ה הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְהִנֵּ֨ה כִסְּתָ֤ה הַצָּרַ֙עַת֙ אֶת־כָּל־בְּשָׂרֹ֔ו וְטִהַ֖ר אֶת־הַנָּ֑גַע כֻּלֹּ֛ו הָפַ֥ךְ לָבָ֖ן טָהֹ֥ור הֽוּא׃ 13
then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the tzara'at has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.
וּבְיֹ֨ום הֵרָאֹ֥ות בֹּ֛ו בָּשָׂ֥ר חַ֖י יִטְמָֽא׃ 14
But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
וְרָאָ֧ה הַכֹּהֵ֛ן אֶת־הַבָּשָׂ֥ר הַחַ֖י וְטִמְּאֹ֑ו הַבָּשָׂ֥ר הַחַ֛י טָמֵ֥א ה֖וּא צָרַ֥עַת הֽוּא׃ 15
The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is tzara'at.
אֹ֣ו כִ֥י יָשׁ֛וּב הַבָּשָׂ֥ר הַחַ֖י וְנֶהְפַּ֣ךְ לְלָבָ֑ן וּבָ֖א אֶל־הַכֹּהֵֽן׃ 16
Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest;
וְרָאָ֙הוּ֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וְהִנֵּ֛ה נֶהְפַּ֥ךְ הַנֶּ֖גַע לְלָבָ֑ן וְטִהַ֧ר הַכֹּהֵ֛ן אֶת־הַנֶּ֖גַע טָהֹ֥ור הֽוּא׃ פ 17
and the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
וּבָשָׂ֕ר כִּֽי־יִהְיֶ֥ה בֹֽו־בְעֹרֹ֖ו שְׁחִ֑ין וְנִרְפָּֽא׃ 18
“When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,
וְהָיָ֞ה בִּמְקֹ֤ום הַשְּׁחִין֙ שְׂאֵ֣ת לְבָנָ֔ה אֹ֥ו בַהֶ֖רֶת לְבָנָ֣ה אֲדַמְדָּ֑מֶת וְנִרְאָ֖ה אֶל־הַכֹּהֵֽן׃ 19
and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest;
וְרָאָ֣ה הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְהִנֵּ֤ה מַרְאֶ֙הָ֙ שָׁפָ֣ל מִן־הָעֹ֔ור וּשְׂעָרָ֖הּ הָפַ֣ךְ לָבָ֑ן וְטִמְּאֹ֧ו הַכֹּהֵ֛ן נֶֽגַע־צָרַ֥עַת הִ֖וא בַּשְּׁחִ֥ין פָּרָֽחָה׃ 20
and the priest shall examine it; and behold, if its appearance is lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of tzara'at. It has broken out in the boil.
וְאִ֣ם ׀ יִרְאֶ֣נָּה הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְהִנֵּ֤ה אֵֽין־בָּהּ֙ שֵׂעָ֣ר לָבָ֔ן וּשְׁפָלָ֥ה אֵינֶ֛נָּה מִן־הָעֹ֖ור וְהִ֣יא כֵהָ֑ה וְהִסְגִּירֹ֥ו הַכֹּהֵ֖ן שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִֽים׃ 21
But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it is not deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
וְאִם־פָּשֹׂ֥ה תִפְשֶׂ֖ה בָּעֹ֑ור וְטִמֵּ֧א הַכֹּהֵ֛ן אֹתֹ֖ו נֶ֥גַע הִֽוא׃ 22
If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.
וְאִם־תַּחְתֶּ֜יהָ תַּעֲמֹ֤ד הַבַּהֶ֙רֶת֙ לֹ֣א פָשָׂ֔תָה צָרֶ֥בֶת הַשְּׁחִ֖ין הִ֑וא וְטִהֲרֹ֖ו הַכֹּהֵֽן׃ ס 23
But if the bright spot stays in its place, and has not spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
אֹ֣ו בָשָׂ֔ר כִּֽי־יִהְיֶ֥ה בְעֹרֹ֖ו מִכְוַת־אֵ֑שׁ וְֽהָיְתָ֞ה מִֽחְיַ֣ת הַמִּכְוָ֗ה בַּהֶ֛רֶת לְבָנָ֥ה אֲדַמְדֶּ֖מֶת אֹ֥ו לְבָנָֽה׃ 24
“Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,
וְרָאָ֣ה אֹתָ֣הּ הַכֹּהֵ֡ן וְהִנֵּ֣ה נֶהְפַּךְ֩ שֵׂעָ֨ר לָבָ֜ן בַּבַּהֶ֗רֶת וּמַרְאֶ֙הָ֙ עָמֹ֣ק מִן־הָעֹ֔ור צָרַ֣עַת הִ֔וא בַּמִּכְוָ֖ה פָּרָ֑חָה וְטִמֵּ֤א אֹתֹו֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן נֶ֥גַע צָרַ֖עַת הִֽוא׃ 25
then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin; it is tzara'at. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of tzara'at.
וְאִ֣ם ׀ יִרְאֶ֣נָּה הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְהִנֵּ֤ה אֵֽין־בַּבֶּהֶ֙רֶת֙ שֵׂעָ֣ר לָבָ֔ן וּשְׁפָלָ֥ה אֵינֶ֛נָּה מִן־הָעֹ֖ור וְהִ֣וא כֵהָ֑ה וְהִסְגִּירֹ֥ו הַכֹּהֵ֖ן שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִֽים׃ 26
But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is not lower than the skin, but is faded; then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
וְרָאָ֥הוּ הַכֹּהֵ֖ן בַּיֹּ֣ום הַשְּׁבִיעִ֑י אִם־פָּשֹׂ֤ה תִפְשֶׂה֙ בָּעֹ֔ור וְטִמֵּ֤א הַכֹּהֵן֙ אֹתֹ֔ו נֶ֥גַע צָרַ֖עַת הִֽוא׃ 27
The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of tzara'at.
וְאִם־תַּחְתֶּיהָ֩ תַעֲמֹ֨ד הַבַּהֶ֜רֶת לֹא־פָשְׂתָ֤ה בָעֹור֙ וְהִ֣וא כֵהָ֔ה שְׂאֵ֥ת הַמִּכְוָ֖ה הִ֑וא וְטִֽהֲרֹו֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן כִּֽי־צָרֶ֥בֶת הַמִּכְוָ֖ה הִֽוא׃ פ 28
If the bright spot stays in its place, and has not spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar from the burn.
וְאִישׁ֙ אֹ֣ו אִשָּׁ֔ה כִּֽי־יִהְיֶ֥ה בֹ֖ו נָ֑גַע בְּרֹ֖אשׁ אֹ֥ו בְזָקָֽן׃ 29
“When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,
וְרָאָ֨ה הַכֹּהֵ֜ן אֶת־הַנֶּ֗גַע וְהִנֵּ֤ה מַרְאֵ֙הוּ֙ עָמֹ֣ק מִן־הָעֹ֔ור וּבֹ֛ו שֵׂעָ֥ר צָהֹ֖ב דָּ֑ק וְטִמֵּ֨א אֹתֹ֤ו הַכֹּהֵן֙ נֶ֣תֶק ה֔וּא צָרַ֧עַת הָרֹ֛אשׁ אֹ֥ו הַזָּקָ֖ן הֽוּא׃ 30
then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is an itch, it is tzara'at of the head or of the beard.
וְכִֽי־יִרְאֶ֨ה הַכֹּהֵ֜ן אֶת־נֶ֣גַע הַנֶּ֗תֶק וְהִנֵּ֤ה אֵין־מַרְאֵ֙הוּ֙ עָמֹ֣ק מִן־הָעֹ֔ור וְשֵׂעָ֥ר שָׁחֹ֖ר אֵ֣ין בֹּ֑ו וְהִסְגִּ֧יר הַכֹּהֵ֛ן אֶת־נֶ֥גַע הַנֶּ֖תֶק שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִֽים׃ 31
If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person infected with itching seven days.
וְרָאָ֨ה הַכֹּהֵ֣ן אֶת־הַנֶּגַע֮ בַּיֹּ֣ום הַשְּׁבִיעִי֒ וְהִנֵּה֙ לֹא־פָשָׂ֣ה הַנֶּ֔תֶק וְלֹא־הָ֥יָה בֹ֖ו שֵׂעָ֣ר צָהֹ֑ב וּמַרְאֵ֣ה הַנֶּ֔תֶק אֵ֥ין עָמֹ֖ק מִן־הָעֹֽור׃ 32
On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch has not spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch is not deeper than the skin,
וְהִ֨תְגַּלָּ֔ח וְאֶת־הַנֶּ֖תֶק לֹ֣א יְגַלֵּ֑חַ וְהִסְגִּ֨יר הַכֹּהֵ֧ן אֶת־הַנֶּ֛תֶק שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִ֖ים שֵׁנִֽית׃ 33
then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch; and the priest shall shut him up who has the itch seven more days.
וְרָאָה֩ הַכֹּהֵ֨ן אֶת־הַנֶּ֜תֶק בַּיֹּ֣ום הַשְּׁבִיעִ֗י וְ֠הִנֵּה לֹא־פָשָׂ֤ה הַנֶּ֙תֶק֙ בָּעֹ֔ור וּמַרְאֵ֕הוּ אֵינֶ֥נּוּ עָמֹ֖ק מִן־הָעֹ֑ור וְטִהַ֤ר אֹתֹו֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וְכִבֶּ֥ס בְּגָדָ֖יו וְטָהֵֽר׃ 34
On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch has not spread in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
וְאִם־פָּשֹׂ֥ה יִפְשֶׂ֛ה הַנֶּ֖תֶק בָּעֹ֑ור אַחֲרֵ֖י טָהֳרָתֹֽו׃ 35
But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,
וְרָאָ֙הוּ֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וְהִנֵּ֛ה פָּשָׂ֥ה הַנֶּ֖תֶק בָּעֹ֑ור לֹֽא־יְבַקֵּ֧ר הַכֹּהֵ֛ן לַשֵּׂעָ֥ר הַצָּהֹ֖ב טָמֵ֥א הֽוּא׃ 36
then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.
וְאִם־בְּעֵינָיו֩ עָמַ֨ד הַנֶּ֜תֶק וְשֵׂעָ֨ר שָׁחֹ֧ר צָֽמַח־בֹּ֛ו נִרְפָּ֥א הַנֶּ֖תֶק טָהֹ֣ור ה֑וּא וְטִהֲרֹ֖ו הַכֹּהֵֽן׃ ס 37
But if in his eyes the itch is arrested, and black hair has grown in it; the itch is healed, he is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
וְאִישׁ֙ אֹֽו־אִשָּׁ֔ה כִּֽי־יִהְיֶ֥ה בְעֹור־בְּשָׂרָ֖ם בֶּהָרֹ֑ת בֶּהָרֹ֖ת לְבָנֹֽת׃ 38
“When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots;
וְרָאָ֣ה הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְהִנֵּ֧ה בְעֹור־בְּשָׂרָ֛ם בֶּהָרֹ֖ת כֵּהֹ֣ות לְבָנֹ֑ת בֹּ֥הַק ה֛וּא פָּרַ֥ח בָּעֹ֖ור טָהֹ֥ור הֽוּא׃ ס 39
then the priest shall examine them; and behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash, it has broken out in the skin; he is clean.
וְאִ֕ישׁ כִּ֥י יִמָּרֵ֖ט רֹאשֹׁ֑ו קֵרֵ֥חַ ה֖וּא טָהֹ֥ור הֽוּא׃ 40
“If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.
וְאִם֙ מִפְּאַ֣ת פָּנָ֔יו יִמָּרֵ֖ט רֹאשֹׁ֑ו גִּבֵּ֥חַ ה֖וּא טָהֹ֥ור הֽוּא׃ 41
If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald. He is clean.

But if there is in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is tzara'at breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

Then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of tzara'at in the skin of the flesh,
אִישׁ־צָר֥וּעַ ה֖וּא טָמֵ֣א ה֑וּא טַמֵּ֧א יְטַמְּאֶ֛נּוּ הַכֹּהֵ֖ן בְּרֹאשֹׁ֥ו נִגְעֹֽו׃ 44
he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.

“The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. Outside of the camp shall be his dwelling.

if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the linnen, or in the woof, or in anything made of skin; it is the plague of tzara'at, and shall be shown to the priest.
וְרָאָ֥ה הַכֹּהֵ֖ן אֶת־הַנָּ֑גַע וְהִסְגִּ֥יר אֶת־הַנֶּ֖גַע שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִֽים׃ 50
The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days.

He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the linnen, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive tzara'at mildew. It is unclean.
וְשָׂרַ֨ף אֶת־הַבֶּ֜גֶד אֹ֥ו אֶֽת־הַשְּׁתִ֣י ׀ אֹ֣ו אֶת־הָעֵ֗רֶב בַּצֶּ֙מֶר֙ אֹ֣ו בַפִּשְׁתִּ֔ים אֹ֚ו אֶת־כָּל־כְּלִ֣י הָעֹ֔ור אֲשֶׁר־יִהְיֶ֥ה בֹ֖ו הַנָּ֑גַע כִּֽי־צָרַ֤עַת מַמְאֶ֙רֶת֙ הִ֔וא בָּאֵ֖שׁ תִּשָּׂרֵֽף׃ 52
He shall burn the garment, whether the linnen or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of skin, in which the plague is: for it is a destructive tzara'at mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.
וְאִם֮ יִרְאֶ֣ה הַכֹּהֵן֒ וְהִנֵּה֙ לֹא־פָשָׂ֣ה הַנֶּ֔גַע בַּבֶּ֕גֶד אֹ֥ו בַשְּׁתִ֖י אֹ֣ו בָעֵ֑רֶב אֹ֖ו בְּכָל־כְּלִי־עֹֽור׃ 53

then the priest shall enjoin that they wash the thing in which the plague is, and he shall isolate it seven more days.

Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague has not changed its color, and the plague has not spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a tzara'at mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside.

If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the fabric, or out of the leather:

and if it appears again in the garment, either in the linnen, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn with fire that in which the plague is.

The garment, either the linnen, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean.”
זֹ֠את תֹּורַ֨ת נֶֽגַע־צָרַ֜עַת בֶּ֥גֶד הַצֶּ֣מֶר ׀ אֹ֣ו הַפִּשְׁתִּ֗ים אֹ֤ו הַשְּׁתִי֙ אֹ֣ו הָעֵ֔רֶב אֹ֖ו כָּל־כְּלִי־עֹ֑ור לְטַהֲרֹ֖ו אֹ֥ו לְטַמְּאֹֽו׃ פ 59
This is the Torah ·Teaching· of the plague of tzara'at mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the linnen, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
