Leviticus 15

1 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2 “Say to the Israelites, ‘When any man has a bodily discharge, the discharge is unclean.

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When any man has a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.

3 This uncleanness is from his discharge, whether his body allows the discharge to flow or blocks it. So his discharge will bring about uncleanness.

And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.

4 Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies will be unclean, and any furniture on which he sits will be unclean.

Every bed, where on he lies that has the issue, is unclean: and every thing, where on he sits, shall be unclean.

5 Anyone who touches his bed must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

6 Whoever sits on furniture on which the man with the discharge was sitting must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

And he that sits on any thing where on he sat that has the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

7 Whoever touches the body of the man with a discharge must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

And he that touches the flesh of him that has the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

8 If the man with the discharge spits on one who is clean, that person must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

And if he that has the issue spit on him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

9 Any saddle on which the man with the discharge rides will be unclean.

And what saddle soever he rides on that has the issue shall be unclean.

10 Whoever touches anything that was under him will be unclean until evening, and whoever carries such things must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

And whoever touches any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that bears any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

11 If the man with the discharge touches anyone without first rinsing his hands with water, the one who was touched must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

And whomsoever he touches that has the issue, and has not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

12 Any clay pot that the man with the discharge touches must be broken, and any wooden utensil must be rinsed with water.

And the vessel of earth, that he touches which has the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

13 When the man has been cleansed from his discharge, he must count off seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes, and bathe himself in fresh water, and he shall be clean.

And when he that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.

14 On the eighth day he is to take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, come before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest.

And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them to the priest:

15 The priest is to sacrifice them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for the man before the LORD because of his discharge.

And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.

16 When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

And if any man’s seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.

17 Any clothing or leather on which there is an emission of semen must be washed with water, and it will remain unclean until evening.

And every garment, and every skin, where on is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.

18 If a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, both must bathe with water, and they will remain unclean until evening.

The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.

19 When a woman has a discharge consisting of blood from her body, she will be unclean due to her menstruation for seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening.

And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the even.

20 Anything on which she lies or sits during her menstruation will be unclean,

And every thing that she lies on in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sits on shall be unclean.

21 and anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

22 Whoever touches any furniture on which she was sitting must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

And whoever touches any thing that she sat on shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

23 And whether it is a bed or furniture on which she was sitting, whoever touches it will be unclean until evening.

And if it be on her bed, or on any thing where on she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the even.

24 If a man lies with her and her menstrual flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days, and any bed on which he lies will become unclean.

And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed where on he lies shall be unclean.

25 When a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days at a time other than her menstrual period, or if it continues beyond her period, she will be unclean all the days of her unclean discharge, just as she is during the days of her menstruation.

And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.

26 Any bed on which she lies or any furniture on which she sits during the days of her discharge will be unclean, like her bed during her menstrual period.

Every bed where on she lies all the days of her issue shall be to her as the bed of her separation: and whatever she sits on shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.

27 Anyone who touches these things will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

And whoever touches those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

28 When a woman is cleansed of her discharge, she must count off seven days, and after that she will be ceremonially clean.

But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.

29 On the eighth day she is to take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

And on the eighth day she shall take to her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

30 The priest is to sacrifice one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for her before the LORD for her unclean discharge.

And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.

31 You must keep the children of Israel separate from their uncleanness, so that they do not die by defiling My tabernacle, which is among them.

Thus shall you separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.

32 This is the law of him who has a discharge, of the man who has an emission of semen whereby he is unclean,

This is the law of him that has an issue, and of him whose seed goes from him, and is defiled therewith;

33 of a woman in her menstrual period, of any male or female who has a discharge, and of a man who lies with an unclean woman.’”

And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that has an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lies with her that is unclean.
