Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 13:47

47 The garment also that the plague of leprosie is in , whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment .

Leprosie in garments and houses is unknown in these times and places, which is not strange, there being some diseases or distempers peculiar to some ages and countries, as the learned have noted. And that such a thing was among the Jews cannot reasonably be doubted, for, if Moses had been a deceiver, as some have impudently affirmed, a man of his wisdom would not have exposed himself to the disbelief and contempt of his people by giving laws about that which their experience shewed to be but a fiction.

These two sorts are put by a Synecdoche for any other garments.
