Leviticus 14:5 in Context — Leviticus 14

3 Le sacrificateur sortira du camp, et il examinera le lépreux. Si le lépreux est guéri de la plaie de la lèpre,

4 le sacrificateur ordonnera que l’on prenne, pour celui qui doit être purifié, deux oiseaux vivants et purs, du bois de cèdre, du cramoisi et de l’hysope.

5 Le sacrificateur ordonnera qu’on égorge l’un des oiseaux sur un vase de terre, sur de l’eau vive.

6 Il prendra l’oiseau vivant, le bois de cèdre, le cramoisi et l’hysope; et il les trempera, avec l’oiseau vivant, dans le sang de l’oiseau égorgé sur l’eau vive.

7 Il en fera sept fois l’aspersion sur celui qui doit être purifié de la lèpre. Puis il le déclarera pur, et il lâchera dans les champs l’oiseau vivant.
