- Leviticus 13:52He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.He is to burn the fabric, weave, or knit, whether the contaminated item is wool or linen or leather.
