Leviticus 14:2-9

2“This shall be the law of the person with leprosy on the day of his cleansing. 1Now he shall be brought to the priest; 3and the priest shall go 2out to a place outside of the camp. Then the priest shall look, and if the 3leprous infection has been healed in the person with leprosy, 4then the priest shall give orders to take two live clean birds, 4cedar wood, a 5scarlet string, and hyssop for the one who is to be cleansed. 5The priest shall also give orders to slaughter the one bird in an earthenware vessel over 6running water. 6As for the live bird, he shall take it together with 7the cedar wood, the 8scarlet string, and the 9hyssop, and shall dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the 10running water. 711He shall then sprinkle seven times the one who is to be cleansed from the leprosy and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the live bird go free over the open field. 812The one to be cleansed shall then wash his clothes and shave off all his hair, and bathe in water and 13be clean. And afterward he may enter the camp, but he 14shall stay outside his tent for seven days. 9Then it shall be on the seventh day that he shall shave off all his hair: he shall shave his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair. He shall then wash his clothes and bathe his 15body in water and 16be clean.
