Leviticus 15

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

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

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;

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

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

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

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

If ally man touch his bed, he shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until the 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.

If a man sit where that man hath sitten, he also shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, shall be unclean until the 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.

He that toucheth his flesh, shall wash his clothes: and being himself washed with water shall be unclean until the 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.

If such a man cast his spittle upon him that is clean, he shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until the evening.

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

The saddle on which he hath sitten shall 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 whatsoever has been under him that hath the issue of seed, shall be unclean until the evening. He that carrieth any of these things, shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until the 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.

Every person whom such a one shall touch, not having washed his hands before, shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, shall be unclean until the evening.

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

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 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 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 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

The garment or skin that he weareth, he shall wash with water, and it shall be unclean until the 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.

The woman, with whom he copulateth, shall be washed with water, and shall be unclean until the 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.

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

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

Every one that toucheth her, shall be unclean until the evening.

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

And every thing that she sleepeth on, or that she sitteth on in the days of her separation, shall be defiled.

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.

He that toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes: and being himself washed with water, shall be unclean until the 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.

Whosoever shall touch any vessel on which she sitteth, shall wash his clothes: and himself being washed with water, shall be defiled until the 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.

If a man copulateth with her in the time of her flowers, he shall be unclean seven days: and every bed on which he shall sleep shall be defiled.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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 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 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.

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 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.

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

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

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 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.
