Law Governing Tzara’at on Garments
56 But if the priest examines the article after it has been washed and quarantined for a second week, and the lesion has turned a lighter or darker shade of red or green, he must rip it out of the garment, the leather, or the warp- or woof-threads, and burn the part of the article that was ripped out.

57 If the lesion reappears on the garment, the warp- or woof-threads, or any leather article, it is a recurrent growth. You must burn in fire the entire article upon which the lesion is found.
58 Regarding any garment, warp- or woof-threads, or leather article that you wash by order of the priest, quarantine for a second week, and from which the lesion then disappears entirely, it must be immersed a second time—this time not to be washed, but to be purified in a mikveh—and then it will be rid of this defilement.
59 This is the law governing the diagnosis of a lesion of tzara’at on a woolen or linen garment, warp- or woof-threads, or any leather article, according to which it becomes rid of defilement or defiled.”
