Regulations About Defiling Molds

 Leviticus 13: 29-59

If a man or woman has a sore on their head or chin, the priest is to examine the sore, and if it appears to be more than skin deep and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest shall pronounce them unclean; it is a defiling skin disease on the head or chin. 頭疥，強烈感染性黴菌

When a man or woman has white spots on the skin, the priest is to examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; they are clean. 白火斑。不感染力的霉菌

A man who has lost his hair and is bald is clean. If he has lost his hair from the front of his scalp and has a bald forehead, he is clean. But if he has a reddish-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is a defiling disease breaking out on his head or forehead. 大痲瘋發在他頭禿處

As for any fabric that is spoiled with a defiling mold—any woolen or linen clothing, any woven or knitted material of linen or wool, any leather or anything made of leather— if the affected area in the fabric, the leather, the woven or knitted material, or any leather article, is greenish or reddish, it is a defiling mold and must be shown to the priest. The priest is to examine the affected area and isolate the article for seven days. On the seventh day he is to examine it, and if the mold has spread in the fabric, the woven or knitted material, or the leather, whatever its use, it is a persistent defiling mold; the article is unclean. because the defiling mold is persistent, the article must be burned. 黴菌才會在衣服上

Any fabric, woven or knitted material, or any leather article that has been washed and is rid of the mold, must be washed again. Then it will be clean.14天

As far as clothing and buildings are concerned, the 'disease' is mildew or fungus. (黴菌或真菌)

Why?

All of these are unclean for mildew or fungus caused, some have the capability to spread so who has to be isolated.

All of the defiling molds have to check by the priest for 14 days, if it is existing all have to burn out, if it does not spread, washed twice are clean.

God is caring for the health of his people so make this regulation to protect them, even Israelite did not know what was going on.

How?

All of God's people have to keep clean and sacrifice for God is Holy. So we have to separate from this world.
