“And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:”
He shall purify the house with the bird's blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn. The comprehensive cleansing uses all five elements: the blood-and-water from the killed bird, the live bird dipped in the blood-and-water, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn. The comprehensiveness of the cleansing materials communicates the thoroughness of the purification: every element of the cleansing kit is employed in the house's restoration.
