Then he shall pronounce him clean and shall let the living bird go into the open field. 8 And he who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair and bathe himself in water, and he shall be clean.

He shall shave off all his hair, and then he shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and he shall be clean.
