⁶ And the priest shall take ^(A)cedarwood and hyssop and scarlet yarn, and throw them into the fire burning the heifer.

⁴ the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two live^[a] clean birds and ^(A)cedarwood and ^(B)scarlet yarn and ^(C)hyssop.

⁴⁹ And for the ^(A)cleansing of the house he shall take ^(B)two small birds, with cedarwood and scarlet yarn and hyssop,

⁶ He shall take the live bird with the cedarwood and the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, and dip them and the live bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water.

¹⁹ For when every commandment of the law had been declared by Moses to all the people, he took ^(A)the blood of calves and goats, ^(B)with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, ²⁰ saying, ^(C)“This is the blood of the covenant that God commanded for you.” ²¹ And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both ^(D)the tent and all the vessels used in worship. ²² Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and ^(E)without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

²³ Thus it was necessary for ^(F)the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
