Leviticus 15

1 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,

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

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man have a running issue out of his flesh: because of his issue is he 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, whereon he may lie that hath the issue, shall be unclean: and every vessel, whereon he may sit, 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 any man that toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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 sitteth on any vessel whereon he that hath the issue may sit, shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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 toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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 hath the issue spit upon him that is clean: then shall this one wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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

And what saddle soever he that hath the issue may ride upon 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 whatsoever toucheth any thing, that may be under him, shall be unclean until the evening: and he that beareth any of these things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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 that hath the issue may touch, and he have not rinsed his hands in water, shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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

And an earthen vessel that he who hath the issue may touch, 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 hath an issue becometh clean of his issue: then shall he number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and then shall he 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 shall he take unto himself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto 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 shall he bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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 any garment, and any skin, whereon the seed of copulation may be, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.

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.

And if a man should lie with a woman with seed of copulation, then shall they bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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, so that blood flow from her flesh: then shall she be in her state of separation seven days; and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the evening.

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

And every thing that she may lie upon in her separation shall be unclean: and whatever she may sit upon 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 whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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 whosoever toucheth any vessel, that she may sit upon, shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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

And if something be on the bed, or on any thing whereon she may sit, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the evening.

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 should lie with her, and the uncleanness of her separation come upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he may lie 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 she be as in 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 whereon she may lie all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation; and whatever vessel she may sit upon 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 whosoever toucheth these things shall be unclean; and he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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

And when she becometh clean of her issue, then shall she number to herself seven days, and after that shall she 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 shall she take unto herself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto 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.

And ye shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they may not die in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in their midst.

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 hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth 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 suffering in her separation, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.
