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 children of Israel, and say to them: The man that hath an issue 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 shall he be judged subject to this evil, when a filthy humour, at every moment, cleaveth to his flesh, and gathereth 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 sleepeth, shall be unclean, and every place on which he sitteth.

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

5 If ally man touch his bed, he shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until the 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 a man sit where that man hath sitten, he also shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, shall be unclean until the 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 He that toucheth his flesh, shall wash his clothes: and being himself washed with water shall be unclean until the 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 cast his spittle upon him that is clean, he shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until the 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 hath sitten shall be unclean.

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

10 And whatsoever has been under him that hath the issue of seed, shall be unclean until the evening. He that carrieth any of these things, shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until the 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 Every person whom such a one shall touch, not having washed his hands before, shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, shall be unclean until the 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 touch a vessel of earth, it shall be broken: but if a vessel of wood, if 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 suffereth this disease be healed, he shall number seven days after his cleansing, and having washed his clothes, and all his 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 And on the eighth day he shall take two turtles, or two young pigeons, and he shall come before the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and shall give them 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 for a holocaust: and he shall pray for him before the Lord, that he may be cleansed of the issue 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 The man from whom the seed of copulation goeth out, shall wash all his body with water: and he shall be unclean until the 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 that he weareth, he shall wash with water, and it shall be unclean until the 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 copulateth, shall be washed with water, and shall be unclean until the 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, hath her issue of blood, shall be separated 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 Every one that toucheth her, shall be unclean until the 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 every thing that she sleepeth on, or that she sitteth on in the days of her separation, shall be defiled.

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

22 He that toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes: and being himself washed with water, shall be unclean until the 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 Whosoever shall touch any vessel on which she sitteth, shall wash his clothes: and himself being washed with water, shall be defiled until the 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 copulateth with her in the time of her flowers, he shall be unclean seven days: and every bed on which he shall sleep shall be defiled.

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 that hath an issue of blood many days out of her ordinary time, or that ceaseth not to flow after the monthly courses, as long as she is subject to this disease, shall be unclean, in the same manner as if she were in her flowers.

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 sleepeth, and every vessel on which she sitteth, shall be defiled.

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 Whosoever toucheth them shall wash his clothes: and himself being washed with water, shall be unclean until the 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 stop and cease to run, she shall count seven days of 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 turtles, 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 for a holocaust, and he shall pray for her before the Lord, and for the issue 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 You shall teach therefore the children of Israel to take heed of uncleanness, that they may not die in their filth, when they shall have defiled my tabernacle that 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 that hath the issue of seed, and that is defiled by copulation.

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 the woman that is separated in her monthly times, or that hath a continual issue of blood, and of the man that sleepeth 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.
