And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man has a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.

Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: The man who undergoes a flow 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.

Therefore, you shall teach the sons of Israel to be cautious of uncleanness, so that they may not die in their filth, when they will have polluted my tabernacle, which 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 who undergoes a flow of seed, or who is polluted by sexual intercourse,

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 her who is separated in the time of menstruation, or who has a continual flow of blood, and of the man who sleeps with her.
