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 (shachat) over the mayim chayyim (running water):
14:7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be Taher (cleansed) from the tzara'at seven times, and shall pronounce him Tahor (clean), and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
14:8 And he that is to be Tahor (cleansed) shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be Tahor (clean): and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent shivat yamim.
14:9 But it shall be on the yom hashevi'i, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, erev all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be Tahor (clean).

14:14 And the Kohen shall take [some] of the blood of the asham (trespass offering), and the Kohen shall put [it] upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be Tahor (cleansed), and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:

14:33 (RY:vi, LY:iv)
And Adonai (יהוה) spoke to Moshe and to Aharon, saying,
14:34 When you be come into the eretz of Kenaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the nega of tzara'at in a beit of the eretz of your possession;
14:35 And he that owns ha beit shall come and tell the Kohen, saying, It seems to me [there is] as it were a nega in ha beit:
14:36 Then the Kohen shall command that they empty ha beit, before the Kohen go [into it] to see the nega, that all that [is] in ha beit be not made tamei: and afterward the Kohen shall go in to see ha beit:
14:37 And he shall look on the nega, and, Hinnei, [if] the nega [be] in the walls of ha beit with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight [are] lower than the wall;
14:38 Then the Kohen shall go out of ha beit to the door of ha beit, and shut up ha beit shivat yamim:
14:39 And the Kohen shall come again the yom hashevi'i, and shall look: and, Hinnei, [if] the nega be spread in the walls of ha beit;
14:40 Then the Kohen shall command that they take away the stones in which the nega [is], and they shall cast them into an tamei place without the city:
14:41 And he shall cause ha beit to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an tamei place:
14:42 And they shall take other stones, and put [them] in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister ha beit.
14:43 And if the nega come again, and break out in ha beit, after that he has taken away the stones, and after he has scraped ha beit, and after it is plaistered;
14:44 Then the Kohen shall come and look, and, Hinnei, [if] the nega be spread in ha beit, it [is] a fretting tzara'at in ha beit: it [is] tamei.
14:45 And he shall break down ha beit, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of ha beit; and he shall carry [them] forth out of the city into an tamei place.
14:46 Moreover he that goes into ha beit all the while that it is shut up shall be tamei until the erev.
14:47 And he that lies in ha beit shall wash his clothes; and he that eats in ha beit shall wash his clothes.
14:48 And if the Kohen shall come in, and look [upon it], and, Hinnei, the nega has not spread in ha beit, after ha beit was plaistered: then the Kohen shall pronounce ha beit Tahor (clean), because the nega is healed.
14:49 And he shall take to purify' ha beit two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
14:50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over mayim chayyim (running water):
14:51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the mayim chayyim (running water), and sprinkle ha beit seven times:
14:52 And he shall purify ha beit with the blood of the bird, and with the mayim chayyim (running water), and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
14:53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for ha beit: and it shall be Tahor (clean).
14:54 (LY:v)
This [is] the Torah for all manner of nega of tzara'at, and scall,
14:55 And for the tzara'at of a garment, and of a beit,
14:56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
14:57 To teach when [it is] tamei, and when [it is] Tahor (clean): this [is] the Torah of tzara'at.
