Christ's Death & Resurrection
Commentators see a powerful picture of Jesus in the two birds. The slain bird represents Christ's death for our sins (our 'spiritual leprosy'). The living bird, dipped in that blood and set free, symbolizes Christ's resurrection and ascension, which secures our freedom and justification. The cleansed person is identified with both Christ's death and his new life.
