The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in

on Leviticus 13:47-52

The same word is then used of a garment, which has no skin and cannot fall ill. Wool, linen, warp, woof and anything made of skin are shut up seven days and looked at again on the same schedule as a man. A spreading plague in cloth is burnt whole, and Leviticus 14:33-53 will run the procedure again on the stones of a house.
