< Leviticus 15 >

1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
And the LORD 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 children of Israel, and say to them, When any man has a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.
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 run with his issue, or his flesh be 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, where on he lies that has the issue, is unclean: and every thing, where on 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 even.
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 that sits on any thing where on he sat that has the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
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 that touches the flesh of him that has the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
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 that has the issue spit on him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
9 Whatever the man sits on when he's riding will be unclean.
And what saddle soever he rides on that has the issue 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 any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that bears any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
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 whomsoever he touches that has the issue, and has not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
12 Any clay item touched by the man must be broken, and any wooden item must be washed with water.
And the vessel of earth, that he touches which has the issue, 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 that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and 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 turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 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 an atonement for him before the LORD 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 wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.
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, where on is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.
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 man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.
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 have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the even.
20 Anything she lies or sits on during her period will be unclean,
And every thing that she lies on in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sits on 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 even.
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 any thing that she sat on shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
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 her bed, or on any thing where on she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the even.
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 lie with her at all, and her flowers be on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed where on 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 have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be 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 where on she lies all the days of her issue shall be to her as the bed of her separation: and whatever she sits on shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
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 even.
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 be 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 turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 an atonement for her before the LORD 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 shall you separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among 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 that has an issue, and of him whose seed goes from him, and is defiled therewith;
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 that is sick of her flowers, and of him that has an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lies with her that is unclean.
