“And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:”
To purify the house he is to take two birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop. The purification ceremony for the clean house mirrors the purification ceremony for the restored skin disease sufferer in verses 4–7: two birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop. The same cleansing materials used for the person are used for the house. The parallel between the person's restoration ceremony and the house's restoration ceremony communicates that both are addressed by the same covenant framework for restoration from defilement.
