“As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:”
He is then to take the live bird and dip it, together with the cedar wood, the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water. The live bird is dipped with the cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop into the blood-and-water mixture. The bundle of cleansing materials — wood, yarn, plant, and the living bird — is immersed in the blood-and-water. The immersion prepares the sprinkling agent and marks the living bird with the blood that will soon be sprinkled on the person being cleansed.
