Context — Laws about Mildew
46As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.
47If any fabric is contaminated with mildew —any wool or linen garment,
48any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather—
49and if the mark in the fabric, leather, weave, knit, or leather article is green or red, then it is contaminated with mildew and must be shown to the priest. 50And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days.Cross References

Leviticus 13:48 Summary
Leviticus 13:48 is talking about how mildew can affect different kinds of materials like clothing and leather. This verse is helping us understand what kinds of things can be contaminated and need to be cleaned or purified (Leviticus 13:47). Just like how we want to get rid of mildew in our homes, God wants us to get rid of sin in our lives and live in a way that is pure and holy (1 Peter 1:15-16). By following God's instructions and seeking to live a life of purity, we can be close to Him and live a life that honors Him.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of materials are affected by mildew according to Leviticus 13:48?
According to Leviticus 13:48, mildew can affect any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather, which is why it's essential to regularly inspect these items (Leviticus 13:47).
How does the presence of mildew relate to the concept of uncleanness in the Bible?
In the Bible, uncleanness is often associated with sin and separation from God, as seen in Leviticus 13:46, where a person with a skin infection is considered unclean and must live outside the camp, highlighting the importance of purity and holiness (Leviticus 11:44-45).
What is the significance of the priest examining the mildew in Leviticus 13:49-50?
The priest's examination of the mildew in Leviticus 13:49-50 serves as a reminder that God is concerned with every aspect of our lives, including our physical and spiritual cleanliness, as emphasized in Psalm 51:7, where David asks God to cleanse him from his sin.
How does this verse relate to our lives today, considering we don't follow the same purification rituals?
While we may not follow the same purification rituals as the Israelites, Leviticus 13:48 reminds us of the importance of living a life of purity and holiness, as instructed in 1 Peter 1:15-16, where we are called to be holy in all our conduct.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I may be 'infected' with sin, and how can I seek purification and restoration?
- How can I apply the principle of regular inspection and purification to my spiritual life, just as the Israelites inspected their clothing and homes for mildew?
- What does it mean to live a life of purity and holiness, and how can I strive for this in my daily choices and actions?
- In what ways can I seek to separate myself from the 'infection' of sin and worldly influences, just as the person with a skin infection in Leviticus 13:46 was separated from the community?

The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment; The garment ... that the ... leprosy is in.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 13:48
In the warp, or woof; a learned man renders it, in the outside, or in the inside of it. If the signification of these words be doubtful or unknown now, as some of those of the living creatures and precious stones are confessed to be, it is not material to us, this law being abolished; it sufficeth that the Jews understood these things by frequent experience.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 13:48
48. whether it be in warp, or woof] The LXX. and other versions translate thus; another suggestion is that different ways of working up the material are meant (so R.V. mg.).
Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 13:48
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
