Leviticus 14:49-57 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

49. And he shall take two birds and cedar wood and a crimson thread and hyssop to cleanse the house;

50. and he shall slaughter the first bird over fresh water on a clay vessel.

51. Then he shall take the cedar wood and the hyssop and the crimson thread and the living bird, and he shall dip them in the slaughtered bird’s blood and in the fresh water, and he shall spatter them on the house seven times.

52. Thus he shall purify the house with the bird’s blood and with the fresh water and with the living bird and with the cedar wood and with the hyssop and with the crimson thread.

53. And he shall send the living bird outside the city into the open field; and so he shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.

54. “This is the instruction for any infectious skin disease and for the diseased area of skin,

55. and for a mildew of the garment and for the house,

56. and for the swelling and for the epidermal eruption and for the spot,

57. to teach when something is unclean and when something is clean. This is the regulation of the infectious skin disease.”
