And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
This is the rite for a leper, when he is to be cleansed. He shall be brought to the priest,
who, departing from the camp, when he has found the leprosy to be cleansed,
shall instruct him who is to be purified to offer for himself two living sparrows, which it is lawful to eat, and cedar wood, and vermillion, and hyssop.
And he shall order that one of the sparrows be immolated in an earthen vessel over living waters.
But the other living one, with the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, he shall dip in the blood of the immolated sparrow.
And he shall sprinkle him who is to be cleansed seven times, so that he may be purified justly. And he shall release the living sparrow, so that it may fly away into the field.
