< Leviticus 15 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying:
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: The man who undergoes a flow of seed shall be unclean.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When any man hath an issue out of his flesh, his issue is 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.
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 Every bed on which he sleeps shall be unclean, and every place where he sits.
Every bed whereon he that hath the issue lieth shall be unclean; and every thing whereon he sitteth shall 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 whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
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 that sitteth on any thing whereon he that hath the issue sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
7 Whoever has touched his flesh shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall 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 even.
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 he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
9 The saddle on which he has sat shall be unclean.
And what saddle soever he that hath the issue rideth upon shall 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 whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even; and he that beareth those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
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 whomsoever he that hath the issue toucheth, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
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 the earthen vessel, which he that hath the issue toucheth, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
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 he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue, then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall 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 shall take to him two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tent of meeting, and give them unto 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 the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.
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 the flow of seed go out from a man, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
17 The garment or skin which he will have, he shall wash with water, and it shall be unclean until evening.
And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the flow of seed, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
18 The woman with whom he has had sexual intercourse shall be washed with water, and she shall be unclean until evening.
The woman also with whom a man shall lie carnally, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.
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 have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be in her impurity seven days; and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
20 All who will touch her shall be unclean until evening.
And every thing that she lieth upon in her impurity shall be unclean; every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
21 And everything on which she sleeps or sits, in the days of her separation, shall be polluted.
And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
22 Whoever will have touched her bed shall wash his clothes, and having washed himself with water, he shall be unclean until evening.
And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sitteth upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
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.
And if he be on the bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
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 lie with her, and her impurity be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lieth shall 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 have an issue of her blood many days not in the time of her impurity, or if she have an issue beyond the time of her impurity; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness she shall be as in the days of her impurity: she is unclean.
26 Every bed on which she sleeps, and every item on which she sits, shall be polluted.
Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her impurity; and every thing whereon she sitteth shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity.
27 Whoever will have touched these shall wash his clothes, and having washed himself with water, he shall be unclean until evening.
And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
28 If the blood has stopped and has ceased to flow, she shall number seven days for her purification,
But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall 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 she shall take unto her two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto 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.
And the priest shall offer the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.
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.
Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile My tabernacle that is in the midst of 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 of him that hath an issue, and of him from whom the flow of seed goeth out, so that he is unclean thereby;
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 of her that is sick with her impurity, and of them that have an issue, whether it be a man, or a woman; and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.
