Leviticus 14:3-9

3and the priest shall go 1out to a place outside of the camp. Then the priest shall look, and if the 2leprous infection has been healed in the person with leprosy, 4then the priest shall give orders to take two live clean birds, 3cedar wood, a 4scarlet 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 5running water. 6As for the live bird, he shall take it together with 6the cedar wood, the 7scarlet string, and the 8hyssop, and shall dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird that was slaughtered over the 9running water. 710He 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. 811The one to be cleansed shall then wash his clothes and shave off all his hair, and bathe in water and 12be clean. And afterward he may enter the camp, but he 13shall 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 14body in water and 15be clean.
