Leviticus 14:2

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

“This is the law for the one afflicted with a skin disease on the day of his cleansing, when he is brought to the priest.

3 The priest is to go outside the camp to examine him, and if the skin disease of the afflicted person has healed,

4 the priest shall order that two live clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop be brought for the one to be cleansed.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
