There is an interesting similarity in what was to happen to a person and a home. Two birds were to be brought to the priest. One was sacrificed and the other set free. This shows the two possible outcomes that could take place, death or life. By bringing these to God the person is recognising what could have happened if God had not allowed healing. This is what should have happened (the dead bird), but now I am free to go where I will (the bird released into the field). Even here in a chapter dedicated to teaching the people how to live with disease, God is teaching them about him.
