Then the priest shall order that one of the birds be killed over fresh water in a clay pot. One of the two birds is killed over fresh water in a clay pot: the blood of the killed bird falls into the fresh water, creating the blood-and-water mixture that will be used for the sprinkling. The fresh water — living water — is the water of purification throughout the Levitical system. The blood mixed with the living water creates the cleansing agent for the first stage of the former leper's restoration.
