And the Lord spake unto Moses saying: this is the law of a leper when he shall be cleansed. he shall be brought unto the priest, and the priest shall goo out without the host and look upon him. If the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper, then shall the priest command that there be brought for him that shall be cleansed .ij. living birds that are clean, and cypress wood, and a piece of purple cloth and hyssop. And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed over an earthen vessel of running water. And the priest shall take the living bird and the cypress wood and the purple and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the slain bird and in the running water and sprinkle it upon him that must be cleansed of his leprosy .vij. times and cleanse him / and shall let the living bird goo free in to the fields.

When the seventh day is come, he shall shave off all his here both upon his head and his beard and on his brows: and even all the here that is on him, shall be shaven off. And he shall wash his clothes and his flesh in water / and then he shall be clean.
