References for Lev 14:44 —  1   2 

Lev. 14:1–32 Chapter 14 explains how an unclean person who had been placed outside the camp is readmitted into the covenant community.

Lev. 14:1–9 Cedarwood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop are used in this ritual because they all seem to have cleansing properties (see Num. 19:6). The live bird being driven into the fields may symbolize the patient’s disease being carried outside the camp of Israel.

Lev. 14:10–20 This final series of sacrifices, focusing on cleansing at the sanctuary, restores the unclean person to full fellowship as a member of the covenant community.

Lev. 14:21–32 For the poor, birds are substituted for the expensive large animals, and only one-third the normal amount of grain is required.

Lev. 14:33–57 These laws regarding leprous disease in houses prepare for the time when Israel will settle in Canaan and live in houses. Houses may become infected with disease—things like mold, mildew, and fungus. These are unclean and dangerous, and must be eliminated. The priest determines the course of action.
