The inclusion of various materials such as fabric, leather, weave, and knit indicates the thoroughness with which the Israelites were to inspect their belongings. In ancient Israel, these materials were common in everyday life, used for clothing, tents, and other essential items. The meticulous attention to detail reflects the broader biblical principle of holiness and purity, as seen in other parts of Leviticus, where God calls His people to be set apart (<a href="/leviticus/11-44.htm">Leviticus 11:44-45</a>).<p><b>is green or red</b><br>The specific mention of green or red marks suggests a visible sign of contamination. In the ancient Near East, these colors could indicate mold or mildew, which were considered unclean and potentially harmful. The use of color as an indicator of impurity is consistent with other biblical passages where physical signs often represent spiritual truths. For example, in <a href="/isaiah/1-18.htm">Isaiah 1:18</a>, sin is described as scarlet, contrasting with the purity of being made white as snow.<p><b>then it is contaminated with mildew</b><br>The identification of mildew as a contaminant underscores the importance of maintaining cleanliness and health within the community. Mildew, a type of fungus, could spread and cause damage to materials, making them unusable. This reflects the broader biblical theme of sin as a contaminant that can spread and corrupt if not addressed. The need for purification and cleansing is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, pointing to the ultimate cleansing from sin through Jesus Christ (1 <a href="/john/1-7.htm">John 1:7</a>).<p><b>and must be shown to the priest</b><br>The role of the priest as the one to inspect and declare items clean or unclean highlights the priestly function as a mediator between God and the people. The priest's involvement signifies the seriousness of maintaining purity and the need for divine guidance in matters of health and holiness. This foreshadows the role of Jesus Christ as our High Priest, who intercedes on our behalf and provides the ultimate purification from sin (<a href="/hebrews/4-14.htm">Hebrews 4:14-16</a>).
