Leviticus 14:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ “The priest must order one bird to be ·killed [slaughtered] in a clay bowl containing fresh water. ⁶ Then he will take the living bird, the piece of cedar wood, the red string, and the hyssop; all these he will dip into the blood of the bird that was ·killed [slaughtered] over the fresh water. ⁷ The priest will sprinkle the blood seven times on the person being cleansed from the skin disease [13:2]. He must announce that the person is clean [^Cin a ritual sense] and then go to an open field and let the living bird go free.
