51. he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living sparrow, and he shall dip all these in the blood of the immolated sparrow, and also in the living water, and he shall sprinkle the house seven times.
52. And he shall purify it as much with the blood of the sparrow as with the living water, and with the living sparrow, and the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the vermillion.
53. And when he has released the sparrow to fly freely away into the field, he shall pray for the house, and it shall be justly cleansed.
54. This is the law of every kind of leprosy and plague:
55. of the leprosy of garments and houses,
56. of scars and erupting pustules, of a shining spot, when the appearance is also variegated,
57. so that it can be known at what time a thing is clean or unclean.
