Leviticus 15

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

And the Lord said to Moses and to Aaron,

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When there is discharging out of the flesh of any man, he [is] unclean [from] his discharge;

Say to the children of Israel: If a man has an unclean flow from his flesh, it will make him unclean.

3 and this is his uncleanness in his discharge—his flesh has run with his discharge, or his flesh has stopped from his discharge; it [is] his uncleanness.

If the flow goes on or if the part is stopped up, to keep back the flow, he is still unclean.

4 Every bed on which he who has the discharging lies is unclean, and every vessel on which he sits is unclean;

Every bed on which he has been resting will be unclean, and everything on which he has been seated will be unclean.

5 and anyone who comes against his bed washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

And anyone touching his bed is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

6 And he who is sitting on the vessel on which he sits who has the discharging, washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

And he who has been seated on anything on which the unclean man has been seated is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

7 And he who is coming against the flesh of him who has the discharging, washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

And anyone touching the flesh of the unclean man is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

8 And when he who has the discharging spits on him who is clean, then he has washed his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

And if liquid from the mouth of the unclean man comes on to him who is clean, then he is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

9 And all the saddle on which he who has the discharging rides is unclean;

And any leather seat on a horse on which the unclean man has been seated will be unclean.

10 and anyone who is coming against anything which is under him is unclean until the evening, and he who is carrying them washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

And anyone touching anything which was under him will be unclean till the evening; anyone taking up any of these things is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

11 And anyone against whom he who has the discharging comes (and has not rinsed his hands with water) has even washed his garments, and bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

And anyone on whom the unclean man puts his hands, without washing them in water, is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

12 And the earthen vessel which he who has the discharging comes against is broken; and every wooden vessel is rinsed with water.

And any vessel of earth which has been touched by the unclean man will have to be broken and any vessel of wood washed.

13 And when he who has the discharging is clean from his discharge, then he has numbered seven days for himself for his cleansing, and has washed his garments, and has bathed his flesh with running water, and been clean.

And when a man who has a flow from his body is made clean from it, he is to take seven days to make himself clean, washing his clothing and bathing his body in flowing water, and then he will be clean.

14 And on the eighth day he takes two turtle-doves or two young pigeons for himself, and has come in before YHWH to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and has given them to the priest;

And on the eighth day he is to take two doves or two young pigeons and come before the Lord to the door of the Tent of meeting and give them to the priest:

15 and the priest has made them, one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering; and the priest has made atonement for him before YHWH, because of his discharge.

And they are to be offered by the priest, one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, and the priest will take away his sin before the Lord on account of his flow.

16 And when a man’s seed [from] intercourse goes out from him, then he has bathed all his flesh with water, and been unclean until the evening.

And if a man's seed goes out from him, then all his body will have to be bathed in water and he will be unclean till evening.

17 And any garment, or any skin on which there is seed [from] intercourse, has also been washed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

And any clothing or skin on which the seed comes is to be washed with water and be unclean till evening.

18 And a woman with whom a man lies with seed [from] intercourse, they also have bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

And if a man has sex relations with a woman and his seed goes out from him, the two of them will have to be bathed in water and will be unclean till evening.

19 And when a woman has discharging—blood is her discharge in her flesh—she is in her separation [for] seven days, and anyone who is coming against her is unclean until the evening.

And if a woman has a flow of blood from her body, she will have to be kept separate for seven days, and anyone touching her will be unclean till evening.

20 And anything on which she lies in her separation is unclean, and anything on which she sits is unclean;

And everything on which she has been resting, while she is kept separate, will be unclean, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean.

21 and anyone who is coming against her bed washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

And anyone touching her bed will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

22 And anyone who is coming against any vessel on which she sits washes his garments, and has washed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

And anyone touching anything on which she has been seated will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

23 And if it [is] on the bed, or on the vessel on which she is sitting, in his coming against it, he is unclean until the evening.

Anyone touching anything on the bed or on the thing on which she has been seated, will be unclean till evening.

24 And if a man really lies with her, and her separation is on him, then he has been unclean [for] seven days, and all the bed on which he lies is unclean.

And if any man has sex relations with her so that her blood comes on him, he will be unclean for seven days and every bed on which he has been resting will be unclean.

25 And when a woman’s discharge of blood flows many days within the time of her separation, or when it flows over her separation—all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness are as the days of her separation; she [is] unclean.

And if a woman has a flow of blood for a long time, not at the time when she generally has it, or if the flow goes on longer than the normal time, she will be unclean while the flow of blood goes on, as she is at other normal times.

26 Every bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge is as the bed of her separation to her, and every vessel on which she sits is unclean as the uncleanness of her separation;

Every bed on which she has been resting will be unclean, as at the times when she normally has a flow of blood, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean, in the same way.

27 and anyone who is coming against them is unclean, and has washed his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

And anyone touching these things will be unclean, and his clothing will have to be washed and his body bathed in water and he will be unclean till evening.

28 And if she has been clean from her discharge, then she has numbered seven days for herself, and afterward she is clean;

But when her flow of blood is stopped, after seven days she will be clean.

29 and on the eighth day she takes two turtle-doves or two young pigeons for herself, and has brought them to the priest, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting;

And on the eighth day let her get two doves or two young pigeons and take them to the priest to the door of the Tent of meeting,

30 and the priest has made one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering, and the priest has made atonement for her before YHWH, because of the discharge of her uncleanness.

To be offered by the priest, one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering; and the priest will take away her sin before the Lord on account of her unclean condition.

31 And you have separated the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, and they do not die in their uncleanness, in their defiling My Dwelling Place which [is] in their midst.

In this way may the children of Israel be made free from all sorts of unclean conditions, so that death may not overtake them when they are unclean and when they make unclean my holy place which is among them.

32 This [is] the law of him who has the discharging, and of him whose seed [from] intercourse goes out from him, to become unclean with it,

This is the law for the man who has a flow from his body, or whose seed goes from him so that he is unclean;

33 and of her who is sick in her separation, and of him who has the discharging (his discharge, of the male or of the female), and of a man who lies with an unclean woman.”

And for her who has a flow of blood, and for any man or woman who has an unclean flow, and for him who has sex relations with a woman when she is unclean.
