Leviticus 14:47-53
New American Standard Bible
48If, on the other hand, the priest comes in and makes an inspection and the spot has not indeed spread in the house after the house has been replastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean because the spot has not reappeared.
49To cleanse the house then, he shall take two birds, cedar wood, a scarlet string, and hyssop,
50and he shall slaughter the one bird in an earthenware vessel over running water.
51Then he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet string, with the live bird, and dip them in the blood of the slaughtered bird as well as in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52So he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the running water, along with the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet string.
53However, he shall let the live bird go free outside the city into the open field. So he shall make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.'

50And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

52And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
