Leviticus 15

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron,

2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: The man who undergoes a flow of seed shall be unclean.

Say to the children of Israel: If a man has an unclean flow from his flesh, it will make him unclean.

3 And then he shall be judged subject to this fault, if a filthy fluid, at each moment, adheres to his flesh and gathers there.

If the flow goes on or if the part is stopped up, to keep back the flow, he is still unclean.

4 Every bed on which he sleeps shall be unclean, and every place where he sits.

Every bed on which he has been resting will be unclean, and everything on which he has been seated will be unclean.

5 If any man has touched his couch, he shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

And anyone touching his bed is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

6 If he will have sat where that man has sat, he shall also wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

And he who has been seated on anything on which the unclean man has been seated is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

7 Whoever has touched his flesh shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

And anyone touching the flesh of the unclean man is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

8 If such a man has cast his spittle upon him who is clean, he shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

And if liquid from the mouth of the unclean man comes on to him who is clean, then he is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

9 The saddle on which he has sat shall be unclean.

And any leather seat on a horse on which the unclean man has been seated will be unclean.

10 And whatever has been under him who has undergone a flow of seed shall be polluted until evening. Whoever carries any of these things shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

And anyone touching anything which was under him will be unclean till the evening; anyone taking up any of these things is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

11 All whom such a one has touched, not having washed his hands before, shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

And anyone on whom the unclean man puts his hands, without washing them in water, is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

12 If he has touched an earthen vessel, it shall be broken. But if it is a wooden vessel, it shall be washed with water.

And any vessel of earth which has been touched by the unclean man will have to be broken and any vessel of wood washed.

13 If he who suffers from this affliction will have been healed, he shall number seven days after his cleansing, and having washed his clothes and his entire body in living water, he shall be clean.

And when a man who has a flow from his body is made clean from it, he is to take seven days to make himself clean, washing his clothing and bathing his body in flowing water, and then he will be clean.

14 Then, on the eighth day, he shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and he shall advance, in the sight of the Lord, toward the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and he shall give these to the priest,

And on the eighth day he is to take two doves or two young pigeons and come before the Lord to the door of the Tent of meeting and give them to the priest:

15 who shall offer one for sin, and the other as a holocaust. And he shall pray for him before the Lord, so that he may be cleansed from the flow of his seed.

And they are to be offered by the priest, one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, and the priest will take away his sin before the Lord on account of his flow.

16 A man from whom the seed of sexual intercourse goes out shall wash his entire body with water, and he shall be unclean until evening.

And if a man's seed goes out from him, then all his body will have to be bathed in water and he will be unclean till evening.

17 The garment or skin which he will have, he shall wash with water, and it shall be unclean until evening.

And any clothing or skin on which the seed comes is to be washed with water and be unclean till evening.

18 The woman with whom he has had sexual intercourse shall be washed with water, and she shall be unclean until evening.

And if a man has sex relations with a woman and his seed goes out from him, the two of them will have to be bathed in water and will be unclean till evening.

19 The woman who, at the return of the month, undergoes the flow of blood shall be separated for seven days.

And if a woman has a flow of blood from her body, she will have to be kept separate for seven days, and anyone touching her will be unclean till evening.

20 All who will touch her shall be unclean until evening.

And everything on which she has been resting, while she is kept separate, will be unclean, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean.

21 And everything on which she sleeps or sits, in the days of her separation, shall be polluted.

And anyone touching her bed will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

22 Whoever will have touched her bed shall wash his clothes, and having washed himself with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

And anyone touching anything on which she has been seated will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

23 Anyone who will have touched any item on which she has sat shall wash his clothes, and having washed himself with water, he shall be polluted until evening.

Anyone touching anything on the bed or on the thing on which she has been seated, will be unclean till evening.

24 If a man has sexual intercourse with her in the time of her monthly flow of blood, he shall be unclean for seven days, and every bed on which he sleeps shall be polluted.

And if any man has sex relations with her so that her blood comes on him, he will be unclean for seven days and every bed on which he has been resting will be unclean.

25 The woman who undergoes a flow of blood many days beyond her time of menstruation, or whose blood does not cease to flow after the menstrual blood, as long as she is subject to this affliction, she shall be unclean, just as if she were in her time of menstruation.

And if a woman has a flow of blood for a long time, not at the time when she generally has it, or if the flow goes on longer than the normal time, she will be unclean while the flow of blood goes on, as she is at other normal times.

26 Every bed on which she sleeps, and every item on which she sits, shall be polluted.

Every bed on which she has been resting will be unclean, as at the times when she normally has a flow of blood, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean, in the same way.

27 Whoever will have touched these shall wash his clothes, and having washed himself with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

And anyone touching these things will be unclean, and his clothing will have to be washed and his body bathed in water and he will be unclean till evening.

28 If the blood has stopped and has ceased to flow, she shall number seven days for her purification,

But when her flow of blood is stopped, after seven days she will be clean.

29 and on the eighth day she shall offer for herself, to the priest, two turtledoves or two young pigeons, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

And on the eighth day let her get two doves or two young pigeons and take them to the priest to the door of the Tent of meeting,

30 And he shall offer one for sin, and the other as a holocaust, and he shall pray for her before the Lord, and for the flow of her uncleanness.

To be offered by the priest, one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering; and the priest will take away her sin before the Lord on account of her unclean condition.

31 Therefore, you shall teach the sons of Israel to be cautious of uncleanness, so that they may not die in their filth, when they will have polluted my tabernacle, which is among them.

In this way may the children of Israel be made free from all sorts of unclean conditions, so that death may not overtake them when they are unclean and when they make unclean my holy place which is among them.

32 This is the law of him who undergoes a flow of seed, or who is polluted by sexual intercourse,

This is the law for the man who has a flow from his body, or whose seed goes from him so that he is unclean;

33 and of her who is separated in the time of menstruation, or who has a continual flow of blood, and of the man who sleeps with her.

And for her who has a flow of blood, and for any man or woman who has an unclean flow, and for him who has sex relations with a woman when she is unclean.
