Leviticus 15

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man have a flux from his flesh, because of his flux he is unclean.

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

3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his flux: whether his flesh run with his flux, or his flesh be closed from his flux, it is his uncleanness.

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

4 Every bed whereon he lieth that hath the flux shall be unclean; and every object on which he sitteth shall be unclean.

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

5 And whoever toucheth his bed shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even.

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

6 And he that sitteth on any object whereon he sat that hath the flux shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even.

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.

7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the flux shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even.

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.

8 And if he that hath the flux spit upon him that is clean, then he shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even.

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.

9 And what carriage soever he rideth upon that hath the flux shall be unclean.

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

10 And whoever toucheth anything that was under him shall be unclean until the even; and he that carrieth them shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even.

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.

11 And whomsoever he toucheth who hath the flux and hath not rinsed his hands in water — he shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even.

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.

12 And the vessel of earth that he toucheth who hath the flux shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

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

13 And when he that hath a flux is clean of his flux, then he shall count seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and he shall be clean.

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.

14 And on the eighth day he shall take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and come before Jehovah unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, and give them unto the priest.

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.

15 And the priest shall offer them, one as a sin-offering, and one as a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah for his flux.

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.

16 And if any man's seed of copulation pass from him, then he shall bathe his whole flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.

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

17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon the seed of copulation shall be, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.

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

18 And a woman with whom a man lieth with seed of copulation — they shall bathe in water, and be unclean until the even.

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.

19 And if a woman have a flux, and her flux in her flesh be blood, she shall be seven days in her separation, and whoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.

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.

20 And everything that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean; and everything that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.

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

21 And whoever toucheth her bed shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even.

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

22 And whoever toucheth any object that she sat upon shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even.

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

23 And if it be on the bed, or on anything whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.

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

24 And if a man lie with her at all, and the uncleanness of her separation come upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.

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.

25 And if a woman have her flux of blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if she have the flux beyond the time of her separation, all the days of the flux of her uncleanness shall she be as [in] the days of her separation: she is unclean.

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.

26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her flux shall be unto her as the bed of her separation; and every object on which she sitteth shall be unclean, according to the uncleanness of her separation.

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.

27 And whoever toucheth them shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even.

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

28 And if she be cleansed of her flux then she shall count seven days, and after that she shall be clean.

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

29 And on the eighth day she shall take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting.

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.

30 And the priest shall offer the one as a sin-offering, and the other as a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her before Jehovah for the flux of her uncleanness.

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.

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

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.

32 This is the law for him that hath a flux, and for the one whose seed of copulation goeth from him, and who is defiled therewith:

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

33 and for a woman who is sick in her separation, and for him that hath his flux; for the man and for the woman, and for him that lieth with her that is unclean.

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.’”
