SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:48
o en estambre, o en trama de lino, o de lana, o en piel, o en cualquiera obra de piel;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 48. Whether [it be] in the warp, or woof, of linen, or of woollen , etc.] When these are woven and mixed together, it seems difficult, if not impossible, to judge whether the plague of leprosy was in the one or in the other; one would think it should be unavoidably in both; wherefore Castalio renders the words, whether “in the outer part of it, or in the inner”; in the outside or inside, or what we call the right side or the wrong side of the cloth: but to me it seems that the warp and woof, whether of linen or woollen, are here distinguished not only from garments made of them, but from the cloth itself, of which they are made, and even to be considered before they are wrought together in the loom; and, according to the Jews, when upon the spindle f465 : whether in a skin, or anything made of skin ; that is, whether in unwrought skin, which is not made up in anything, or in anything that is made of skins, as tents, bottles, etc. but skins of fishes, according to the Jewish traditions, are excepted; for so they say f466 , sea skins, i.e. skins of fishes, are not defiled by plagues (of leprosy); for which the commentators give this reason, that as wool and linen are of things which grow out of the earth, so must the skins be; that is, of such animals as live by grass, that springs out of the earth; but if anything was joined unto them, which grew out of the earth, though but a thread, that received uncleanness, it was defiled.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 47-59 - The garment suspected to be tainted with leprosy was not to be burne immediately. If, upon search, it was found that there was a leprou spot, it must be burned, or at least that part of it. If it proved to be free, it must be washed, and then might be used. This also set forth the great evil there is in sin. It not only defiles the sinner' conscience, but it brings a stain upon all he has and all that he does And those who make their clothes servants to their pride and lust, ma see them thereby tainted with leprosy. But the robes of righteousnes never fret, nor are moth-eaten __________________________________________________________________
