And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

2 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.

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: The man that hath an issue of seed, shall be unclean.

3 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.

And then shall he be judged subject to this evil, when a filthy humour, at every moment, cleaveth to his flesh, and gathereth there.

4 Every bed, where on he lies that has the issue, is unclean: and every thing, where on he sits, shall be unclean.

Every bed on which he sleepeth, shall be unclean, and every place on which he sitteth.

12 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.

If he touch a vessel of earth, it shall be broken: but if a vessel of wood, if shall be washed with water.

13 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.

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.

14 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:

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:

15 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.

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.

16 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.

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.

19 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.

The woman, who at the return of the month, hath her issue of blood, shall be separated seven days.

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.

26 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.

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

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

Whosoever toucheth them shall wash his clothes: and himself being washed with water, shall be unclean until the evening.

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

If the blood stop and cease to run, she shall count seven days of her purification:

29 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.

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:

30 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.

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.

31 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.

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.

32 This is the law of him that has an issue, and of him whose seed goes from him, and is defiled therewith;

This is the law of him that hath the issue of seed, and that is defiled by copulation.

33 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.

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.
