“And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:”
Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet yarn and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times. The house receives the sevenfold blood-and-water sprinkling that the person received. The same seven-times thoroughness applied to the person's restoration is applied to the house's restoration. The house that was declared clean is sprinkled with the blood of cleansing — the most intensive purification available within the Levitical system.
