Leviticus 15

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

Yahweh spoke to Moses and to 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 people of Israel, and say to them, 'When any man has an infected fluid that comes out of his body, he becomes 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.

His uncleanness is due to this infected fluid. Whether his body flows with fluid or is stopped up, it is 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 lies will be unclean, and everything on which he sits 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.

Whoever touches his bed must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until 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.

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 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.

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

Any saddle which he who has a flow rides upon 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.

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 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.

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

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 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;

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 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.

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 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.

If any man has an emission of semen, then he must bathe his whole body in water; he will be unclean until 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.

Every garment or leather on which there is semen must be washed with water; it will be unclean until 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.

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 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.

When a woman menstruates, her impurity will continue for seven days, and whoever touches her will be unclean until evening.

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

Everything she lies on during her period will be unclean; everything that she sits on will also 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.

Whoever touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; that person will be unclean until 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.

Whoever touches anything that she sits on must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; that person will be unclean until 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.

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 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 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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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

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 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.

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 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.

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 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,

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 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.”

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.'”
