If
the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper, then shall the
priest command that there be brought for him that shall be
cleansed two living birds that are clean, and cypress {cedar}
wood, and a piece of purple cloth and hyssop. And the priest shall
command that one of the birds be killed over {in} an earthen
vessel of running water. And the priest shall take the living bird
and the cypress {cedar} wood and the purple and the hyssop, and
shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the slain bird,
and in the running water and sprinkle it upon him that must be
cleansed of his leprosy seven times and cleanse him, and shall let
the living bird go free into the fields. And he that is cleansed
shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair, and wash
himself in water, and then he is clean. And after that he shall
come into the host, but shall tarry without his tent seven days.
When the seventh day is come, he shall shave off all his hair both
upon his head and his beard and on his brows: and even all the
hair that is on him, shall be shaven off. And he shall wash his
clothes and his flesh in water, and then he shall be clean. And
when the eighth day is come, let him take two lambs without
blemish and a ewe lamb of a year old without blemish, and three
tenth deals of fine flour for a meatoffering mingled with oil, and
a log of oil.
