Leviticus 14:50-57

50and he is to slaughter one bird into a clay vessel over fresh water.

51He must then take the piece of cedar wood, the twigs of hyssop, the scrap of crimson fabric, and the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the slaughtered bird and in the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

52So he is to decontaminate the house with the blood of the bird, the fresh water, the live bird, the piece of cedar wood, the twigs of hyssop, and the scrap of crimson fabric,

53and he is to send the live bird away outside the city into the open countryside. So he is to make atonement for the house and it will be clean.

54“This is the law for all diseased infections, for scall,

55for the diseased garment, for the house,

56for the swelling, for the scab, and for the bright spot,

57to teach when something is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law for dealing with infectious disease.”
