The story
What happens, plainly.
On the day the one healed of tzara'at is to be purified, the kohen goes out of the camp to see him. He takes two living birds, cedar wood, crimson thread and hyssop. One bird is slaughtered over living water in an earthenware vessel; the living bird is dipped in its blood with the cedar, the crimson and the hyssop, and set free over the open field. The person shaves, washes and waits seven days, and on the eighth day brings offerings, and the kohen puts blood and then oil on his right ear, right thumb and right big toe; one who cannot afford it brings less. If a mark of tzara'at appears in a house in the Land, the house is emptied before the kohen comes, the marked stones are pulled out, and if the mark comes back, the house is torn down. The parsha ends with the laws of discharges from the body, a man's and a woman's, and how each becomes pure again through water.
