Leviticus 14:54-57

Cleansing, Restoration, and the Return From Outside the Camp

The LORD gives Moses cleansing rites for the person healed of defiling skin disease, moving from examination outside the camp to a two-bird cleansing rite, washing and shaving, seven-day waiting, eighth-day offerings, blood and oil application, poverty provision, and then instructions for diagnosing, cleansing, or destroying contaminated houses in the promised land.
