²“This is the regulation of the person afflicted with a skin disease at the time of^b his cleansing. And he shall be brought to the priest, ³and the priest shall go outside the camp,^c and the priest shall examine him,^d and if^e the skin disease’s infection is healed on^f the afflicted person, ⁴then^g the priest shall command, and he shall take two living, clean birds and cedar wood^h and a crimson threadⁱ and hyssop for the one who presents himself for cleansing. ⁵Then^j the priest shall command someone^k to slaughter one bird over fresh water in a clay vessel. ⁶He must take the living bird and the cedar wood^l and the crimson thread^m and the hyssop, and he shall dip them and the living bird in the bird’s blood slaughtered over the fresh water. ⁷And he shall spatter the bloodⁿ seven times on the one who presents himself for cleansing from the infectious skin disease, and he shall declare him clean, and he shall send the living bird into the open field.^o ⁸Then^p the one who presents himself for cleansing shall wash his garments, and he shall shave off all his hair, and he shall wash himself in the water; thus^q he shall be clean, and afterward he shall enter the camp, but^r he shall stay outside his tent^s for seven days.
