As for any fabric that is defiled by a mildew — any woolen or linen clothing. The mildew regulations for fabric extend the clean/unclean framework beyond skin to material objects. The fabric — woolen or linen clothing — that develops a mildew presentation must be evaluated by the priest using criteria analogous to the skin disease examination framework. The extension of the priestly examination process from skin to fabric communicates the comprehensive character of the Levitical clean/unclean system: every aspect of the community's material life falls within the framework of the holy and the defiling.
