Leviticus 14:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ Then he will take the living bird, the piece of cedar wood, the red string, and the hyssop; all these he will dip into the blood of the bird that was ·killed [slaughtered] over the fresh water. ⁷ The priest will sprinkle the blood seven times on the person being cleansed from the skin disease [13:2]. He must announce that the person is clean [^Cin a ritual sense] and then go to an open field and let the living bird go free.

⁸ “The person to be cleansed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe in water [^Cperhaps representing complete decontamination]. Then he will be clean and may go into the camp, though he must stay outside his tent for the first seven days.
