Leviticus 15
1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
Yahweh 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 people of Israel, and say to them, 'When any man has an infected fluid that comes out of his body, he becomes unclean.
3 The uncleanness comes from his discharge, whether his body allows it to flow out or blocks it. It makes him unclean.
His uncleanness is due to this infected fluid. Whether his body flows with fluid or is stopped up, it is unclean.
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 lies will be unclean, and everything on which he sits will 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.
Whoever touches his bed must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until 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.
Anyone who sits on anything on which the man with the flow of infected fluid sat, that person must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until 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.
Anyone who touches the body of the one who has a flow of infected fluid must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until 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.
If the person who has such a flow of fluid spits on someone who is clean, then that person must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening.
9 Whatever the man sits on when he's riding will be unclean.
Any saddle which he who has a flow rides upon will 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.
Whoever touches anything that was under that person will be unclean until evening, and anyone who carries those things must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; he will be unclean until 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.
Whomever he who has such a flow touches without first having rinsed his hands in water, the person who was touched must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening.
12 Any clay item touched by the man must be broken, and any wooden item must be washed with water.
Any clay pot that the one with such a flow of fluid touches must be broken, and every container of wood must 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.
When he who has a flow is cleansed from his flow, then he must count for himself seven days for his cleansing; then he must wash his clothes and bathe his body in running water. Then he will 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.
On the eighth day he must take two doves or two young pigeons and come before Yahweh at the entrance to the tent of meeting; there he must give the birds 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.
The priest must offer them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and the priest must make atonement for him before Yahweh for his flow.
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.
If any man has an emission of semen, then he must bathe his whole body in water; he will be unclean until 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.
Every garment or leather on which there is semen must be washed with water; it will be unclean until 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.
If a woman and a man sleep together and there is a transfer of semen to her, they must both bathe themselves in water; they will be unclean until 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.
When a woman menstruates, her impurity will continue for seven days, and whoever touches her will be unclean until evening.
20 Anything she lies or sits on during her period will be unclean,
Everything she lies on during her period will be unclean; everything that she sits on will also 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.
Whoever touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; that person will be unclean until 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.
Whoever touches anything that she sits on must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; that person will be unclean until evening.
23 Whether it's a bed or something she was sitting on, anyone who touches it will be unclean until the evening.
Whether it is on the bed or on anything on which she sits, if he touches it, that person will be unclean until 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.
If any man sleeps with her, and if her impure flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days. Every bed on which he lies will 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.
If a woman has a flow of blood for many days that is not in the time of her menstruation, or if she has a flow beyond the time of her menstruation, during all the days of the flow of her uncleanness, she will be as if she were in the days of her period. 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 during her flow of blood will be to her just like the bed on which she lies during her menstruation, and everything on which she sits will be unclean, just like the uncleanness of her menstruation.
27 Anyone who touches them has to wash their clothes, and wash themselves with water, and they will be unclean until the evening.
Whoever touches any of those things will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until 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 from her flow of blood, then she will count for herself seven days, and after that she will 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.
On the eighth day she will take to her two doves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to 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.
The priest will offer one bird as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and he will make atonement for her before Yahweh for her unclean flow of blood.
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.
This is how you must separate the people of Israel from their uncleanness, so they will not die due to their uncleanness, by defiling my tabernacle, where I live 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,
These are the regulations for anyone who has a flow of fluid, for any man whose semen goes out of him and makes him unclean,
33 a woman during her period, any male or female who has a discharge, and a man who sleeps with an unclean woman.”
for any woman who has a menstrual period, for anyone with a flow of fluid, whether male or female, and for any man who sleeps with an unclean woman.'”
