Leviticus 13:57 discusses the protocol for dealing with garments contaminated by mildew or mold. If the mildew reappears after washing and quarantine, the garment is to be burned, as the contamination is deemed incurable. This verse reflects the meticulous cleanliness standards set by God for the Israelites, emphasizing the importance of purity and holiness in their daily lives. It also serves as a symbolic reminder of the need to eradicate sin completely, as represented by the thorough disposal of the contaminated garment.

Commentary

Keil-Delitzsch
John Gill

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

But if the mole appeared again in any such garment or cloth, i.e., if it appeared again after this, it was a leprosy bursting forth afresh, and the thing affected with it was to be burned. Leprosy in linen and woollen fabrics or clothes, and in leather, consisted in all probability in nothing but so-called mildew, which commonly arises from damp and want of air, and consists, in the case of linen, of round, partially coloured spots, which spread, and gradually eat up the fabric, until it falls to pieces like mould. In leather the mildew consists most strictly of "holes eaten in," and is of a "greenish, reddish, or whitish colour, according to the species of the delicate cryptogami by which it has been formed."
