What Does Leviticus 13:58 Mean?
A garment showing improvement through the washing process—where the plague departs—is not lost. The item is washed a second time to ensure complete removal of any remaining traces. This second washing completes the cleansing process and restores the garment to usefulness.
The successful removal of plague through washing demonstrates that not all discoloration and marks represent true leprosy. A garment that responds to treatment is different from one with plague that persists despite washing. Two washings ensure the garment is fully restored and safe for use.
