# after the item where there was leprosy was washed

This can be translated in active form. Alternate translation: "after they washed the item where there was leprosy" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# leprosy

Here this probably refers to mildew. See how you translated this word in [Leviticus 13:47](../13/47.md).

# it is unclean

Something that God has declared to be unfit for people to touch is spoken of as if it were physically unclean. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# You must burn the item

Here "you" does not refer to the priest specifically. It just means someone must burn the object.
