Leviticus 14: 4 then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
Leviticus 14: 5 And the priest shall command to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
Leviticus 14: 6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar-wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.
