Leviticus 13:46

⁴⁴ the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head.

⁴⁵ A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’

As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.

⁴⁷ If any fabric is contaminated with mildew —any wool or linen garment,

⁴⁸ any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather—

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
