dh asks:
The Gemara says that only wool and linen can become Tamei with Tzaraas. Doesnt the Pasuk mention leather as well?

The Kollel replies:
The Gemara does not say that only wool and linen can become impure with Tzara'as, as this would contradict an explicit Pasuk (Vayikra 13:48), as you mentioned. Rather, the Gemara is discussing the definition of the term Beged, and deriving from the Pasuk (Vayikra 13:47) that anytime the word Beged is stated it refers solely to clothing made of wool or linen.
All the best,
Yaakov Montrose
