Context of Leviticus 14:48

46A person may go into the house while it is shut up. If he does, he will not become clean until evening. 47Any person who sleeps in a house with mildew must wash his clothes. And any person who eats in a house with mildew must wash his clothes. If a person mends his house, the priest must look at it. There may not be any mildew. The priest will then say that it is clean. 49The person must take two birds and some wood from the cedar tree. He must take red wool and hyssop. 50The priest will bring a pot with water in it. He will hold one of the birds over the pot and he will kill it.
