Leviticus 13:48
46 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,
any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather—
49 and 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.
50 And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days.
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.
