1 The Lord gave Moses
2 the following regulations about the ritual purification of a person cured of a dreaded skin disease. On the day he is to be pronounced clean, he shall be brought to the priest,
3 and the priest shall take him outside the camp and examine him. If the disease is healed,
4 the priest shall order two ritually clean birds to be brought, together with a piece of cedar wood, a red cord, and a sprig of hyssop.
5 Then the priest shall order one of the birds to be killed over a clay bowl containing fresh spring water.
6 He shall take the other bird and dip it, together with the cedar wood, the red cord, and the hyssop, in the blood of the bird that was killed.
