Vayikra 14:1-7 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

2. This shall be the torat hametzora in the yom of his tohorah: he shall be brought unto the kohen;

3. And the kohen shall go forth outside the machaneh; and the kohen shall examine, and, hinei, if the nega tzara'at be healed in the afflicted person,

4. Then shall the kohen command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and tehorot (clean ones), and cedar wood, and scarlet thread, and hyssop;

5. And the kohen shall command that one of the birds be shachat in a clay vessel over mayim chayyim (running water);

6. As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet thread, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the dahm of the bird that was killed (shachat) over the mayim chayyim (running water);

7. And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be made tahor from the tzara'at seven times, and shall pronounce him tahor, and shall release the living bird into the open field.
