Leviticus 15

1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2 “Tell the Israelites, When any man has a discharge from his genitals, the discharge is unclean.

Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When any man has an issue out of his flesh, he is unclean because of his issue.

3 The uncleanness comes from his discharge, whether his body allows it to flow out or blocks it. It makes him unclean.

And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue, whether his flesh runs with his issue, or his flesh has stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.

4 Any bed the man with the discharge lies on will be unclean, and anything he sits on will be unclean.

Every bed on which he who has the issue lies shall be unclean, and everything on which he sits shall be unclean.

5 Anyone who touches his bed has to wash their clothes, and wash themselves with water, and they will be unclean until the evening.

And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

6 Anyone who sits on whatever the man was sitting on has to wash their clothes, and wash themselves with water, and they will be unclean until the evening.

And he who sits on anything on which he who has the issue sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

7 Anyone who touches the man's body has to wash their clothes, and wash themselves with water, and they will be unclean until the evening.

And he who touches the flesh of him who has the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

8 If the man with the discharge spits on anyone who is clean, they have to wash their clothes, and wash themselves with water, and they will be unclean until the evening.

And if he who has the issue spits upon him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

9 Whatever the man sits on when he's riding will be unclean.

And whatever saddle he who has the issue rides upon shall be unclean.

10 Anyone who touches whatever was under him will be unclean until the evening. Anyone who picks these things up has to wash their clothes, and wash themselves with water, and they will be unclean until the evening.

And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening. And he who bears those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

11 If the man with the discharge touches anyone without washing his hands with water first, the person who was touched has to wash their clothes, and wash themselves with water, and they will be unclean until the evening.

And whomever he who has the issue touches, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

12 Any clay item touched by the man must be broken, and any wooden item must be washed with water.

And the earthen vessel, which he who has the issue touches, shall be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

13 Once the discharge has healed, the man must allocate seven days for his cleaning process, wash his clothes, and wash himself in fresh water, and he shall be clean.

And when he who has 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 On the eighth day he must 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 shall take to him two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and come before Jehovah to the door of the tent of meeting, and give them to the priest.

15 The priest will sacrifice them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. This is how the priest will make the man right before the Lord because of his discharge.

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 Jehovah for his issue.

16 When a man has a release of semen, he must wash his whole body with water, and he will be unclean until the evening.

And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening.

17 Any clothing or leather that the release of semen falls on must be washed with water, and it will remain unclean until the evening.

And every garment, and every skin, on which is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.

18 If a man sleeps with a woman and there is a release of semen, both of them must wash with water, and they will remain unclean until the evening.

The woman also with whom a man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.

19 When a woman has a discharge of blood from her body, she will be unclean because of her period for seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean until the evening.

And if a woman has an issue, and her issue in her flesh is blood, she shall be seven days in her impurity, and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.

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

And everything that she lies upon in her impurity shall be unclean. Also everything that she sits upon shall be unclean.

21 and anyone who touches her bed must wash their clothes and wash themselves with water, and will be unclean until the evening.

And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

22 Anyone who touches what she was sitting on has to wash their clothes, and wash themselves with water, and they will be unclean until the evening.

And whoever touches anything that she sits upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

23 Whether it's a bed or something she was sitting on, anyone who touches it will be unclean until the evening.

And if it be on the bed, or on anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the evening.

24 If a man sleeps with her and the blood from her period touches him, he will be unclean for seven days, and any bed he lies on will be unclean.

And if any man lies with her, and her impurity be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days, and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.

25 When a woman has a discharge of blood for several days when it's not the time for her period, or if it continues past her period, she will be unclean for the whole time she is bleeding, not just for the days of her period.

And if a woman has an issue of her blood many days not in the time of her impurity, or if she has an issue beyond the time of her impurity, she shall be all the days of the issue of her uncleanness as in the days of her impurity; she is unclean.

26 Any bed she lies on or anything she sits on while she has her discharge will be unclean, just as her bed is during her period.

Every bed on which she lies all the days of her issue shall be to her as the bed of her impurity, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity.

27 Anyone who touches them has to wash their clothes, and wash themselves with water, and they will be unclean until the evening.

And whoever touches those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

28 Once the woman's discharge has healed, she must allocate seven days for her cleaning process, wash her clothes, and wash herself in fresh water, and she shall be clean.

But if she is cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.

29 On the eighth day she must 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 she shall take to her two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting.

30 The priest will sacrifice them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. This is how the priest will make her right before the Lord because of her discharge.

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 Jehovah for the issue of her uncleanness.

31 This is how you must stop the Israelites from becoming ceremonially unclean, so that they don't die by making my Tabernacle unclean, the place where I live with them.

Thus ye shall separate the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, that they not die in their uncleanness when they defile my tabernacle that is in the midst of them.

32 These are the regulations regarding a man who has a discharge, a man who has a release of semen that makes him unclean,

This is the law of him who has an issue, and of him whose seed of copulation goes from him, so that he is unclean thereby,

33 a woman during her period, any male or female who has a discharge, and a man who sleeps with an unclean woman.”

and of her who is sick with her impurity, and of him who has an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him who lies with her who is unclean.
