Leviticus 15

1 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

And YHWH speaks 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 sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When there is discharging out of the flesh of any man, he [is] unclean [from] his discharge;

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 is his uncleanness in his discharge—his flesh has run with his discharge, or his flesh has stopped from his discharge; 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 on which he who has the discharging lies is unclean, and every vessel on which he sits is unclean;

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

and anyone who comes against his bed washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been 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 who is sitting on the vessel on which he sits who has the discharging, washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been 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 who is coming against the flesh of him who has the discharging, washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been 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 when he who has the discharging spits on him who is clean, then he has washed his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

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

And all the saddle on which he who has the discharging rides is 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 anyone who is coming against anything which is under him is unclean until the evening, and he who is carrying them washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been 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 anyone against whom he who has the discharging comes (and has not rinsed his hands with water) has even washed his garments, and bathed with water, and been 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 the earthen vessel which he who has the discharging comes against is broken; and every wooden vessel is rinsed with 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 who has the discharging is clean from his discharge, then he has numbered seven days for himself for his cleansing, and has washed his garments, and has bathed his flesh with running water, and been 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 takes two turtle-doves or two young pigeons for himself, and has come in before YHWH to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and has given 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 has made them, one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering; and the priest has made atonement for him before YHWH, because of his discharge.

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 when a man’s seed [from] intercourse goes out from him, then he has bathed all his flesh with water, and been 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, or any skin on which there is seed [from] intercourse, has also been washed with water, and been 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 a woman with whom a man lies with seed [from] intercourse, they also have bathed with water, and been 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 when a woman has discharging—blood is her discharge in her flesh—she is in her separation [for] seven days, and anyone who is coming against her is unclean until the evening.

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

And anything on which she lies in her separation is unclean, and anything on which she sits is unclean;

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

and anyone who is coming against her bed washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been 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 anyone who is coming against any vessel on which she sits washes his garments, and has washed with water, and been 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 it [is] on the bed, or on the vessel on which she is sitting, in his coming against it, he is 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 a man really lies with her, and her separation is on him, then he has been unclean [for] seven days, and all the bed on which he lies is 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 when a woman’s discharge of blood flows many days within the time of her separation, or when it flows over her separation—all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness are as the days of her separation; she [is] 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 on which she lies all the days of her discharge is as the bed of her separation to her, and every vessel on which she sits is 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 anyone who is coming against them is unclean, and has washed his garments, and has bathed with water, and been 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 if she has been clean from her discharge, then she has numbered seven days for herself, and afterward she is 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 takes two turtle-doves or two young pigeons for herself, and has brought them to the priest, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting;

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 has made one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering, and the priest has made atonement for her before YHWH, because of the discharge 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 you have separated the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, and they do not die in their uncleanness, in their defiling My Dwelling Place which [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 who has the discharging, and of him whose seed [from] intercourse goes out from him, to become unclean with it,

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 who is sick in her separation, and of him who has the discharging (his discharge, of the male or of the female), and of a man who lies with an unclean woman.”
