leprosy (tsaraat)
Tsaraat, translated "leprosy": a skin disease that made a person unclean; the same word is used for marks on clothing and on houses (Leviticus 13-14). It covers more than the disease that bears that name today.

Translation note
It can be understood that the “leprosy” of a garment is a mark that spreads, like mold.
