Leviticus 14:56
54 This is the law for any infectious skin disease, for a scaly outbreak,
55 for mildew in clothing or in a house,
and for a swelling, rash, or spot,
57 to determine when something is clean or unclean. This is the law regarding skin diseases and mildew.”
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.
