SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:52
Será quemado el vestido, o estambre o trama, de lana o de lino, o cualquiera obra de pieles en que hubiere tal plaga; porque lepra roedora es; al fuego será quemada.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Leviticus 13:52
Verse 52. He shall therefore burn that garment] There being scarcely any means of radically curing the infection. It is well known that the garments infected by the psora, or itch animal, have been known to communicate the disease even six or seven years after the first infection. This has been also experienced by the sorters of rags at some paper mills.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 52. He shall therefore burn that garment , etc.] That there may be no more use of it, nor profit from it; and this was done without the city, as Ben Gersom asserts: whether in warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or anything of skin , wherein the plague is ; all and either of them were to be burnt: for it [is] a fretting leprosy ; (see Gill on “ Leviticus 13:51”): it shall be burnt in the fire ; which may teach both to hate the garment spotted with the flesh, and to put no trust in and have no dependence on a man’s own righteousness, which is as filthy rags, and both are such as shall be burnt, and the loss of them suffered, even when a man himself is saved, yet so as by fire, ( 1 Corinthians 3:15).
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 __________________________________________________________________
