Leviticus 15
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me and Aaron,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 “Tell this to the Israelis: When an infected discharge comes out of a man’s sexual organs [EUP], that fluid should not be touched.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When any man has an issue out of his flesh, he is unclean because of his issue.
3 Whether that fluid is blocked or continues to drip, it causes him to be someone who should not be touched.
And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue, whether his flesh runs with his issue, or his flesh has stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.
4 “And any bed that such a man lies on should not be touched, and anything that he sits on should not be touched.
Every bed on which he who has the issue lies shall be unclean, and everything on which he sits shall be unclean.
5 Anyone who touches that person’s bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
6 Anyone who sits on something that man has sat on must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
And he who sits on anything on which he who has the issue sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
7 “Anyone who touches such a man must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
And he who touches the flesh of him who has the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
8 “If such a man spits on someone else, that person who is spit upon should not be touched. He must wash his clothes, and no one should touch him until that evening.
And if he who has the issue spits upon him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
9 “Everything that a man who has such a discharge of fluid sits on while he is riding [a horse or a donkey] should not be touched,
And whatever saddle he who has the issue rides upon shall be unclean.
10 and anyone who touches the seat or saddle that he was sitting on also should not be touched until that evening. And anyone who picks up the seat or saddle must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening. And he who bears those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
11 Anyone whom the man with such a discharge of fluid from his body touches without first rinsing his hands in water must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
And whomever he who has the issue touches, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
12 “If such a man touches a clay pot, that pot must be broken into pieces. Anything made from wood that he touches must be rinsed in water.
And the earthen vessel, which he who has the issue touches, shall be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
13 “If such a man is healed from his flow of fluid, he must wait for seven days. Then he must wash his clothes and bathe in water from a spring. Then he will be able to be with others.
And when he who has an issue is cleansed of his issue, then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
14 On the eighth/next day, he must take two doves or two young pigeons and come in front of Yahweh at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and give them to the priest.
And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and come before Jehovah to the door of the tent of meeting, and give them to the priest.
15 The priest will sacrifice them. One will be an offering for the man to become acceptable to God, and the other one will be completely burned [on the altar]. As a result of the priest doing that, the man will be forgiven for having sinned.
And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah for his issue.
16 “Then semen accidentally flows from a man’s sexual organs [EUP], he must bathe his whole body, and no one should touch him until that evening.
And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening.
17 Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed, and no one should touch it until that evening.
And every garment, and every skin, on which is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.
18 When a man has sex with a woman and some semen spills, both of them must bathe, and no one should touch them until that evening.
The woman also with whom a man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.
19 “Then a woman has her monthly menstrual period, no one should touch her for seven days. If anyone touches her [during that time], no one should touch the person who touched her until that evening.
And if a woman has an issue, and her issue in her flesh is blood, she shall be seven days in her impurity, and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.
20 No one should touch anything that she lies on or sits on during that time.
And everything that she lies upon in her impurity shall be unclean. Also everything that she sits upon shall be unclean.
21 Anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
22 Anyone who touches something that she has been sitting on, a bed or anything else, must wash his clothes, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
And whoever touches anything that she sits upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
And if it be on the bed, or on anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the evening.
24 “If a man has sex with a woman [during that time] and some of the menstrual blood touches him, no one should touch him for seven days, and no one should touch the bed that he lies on.
And if any man lies with her, and her impurity be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days, and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.
25 “Then a woman has a vaginal discharge of blood for (many days/a long time), which is not her monthly flow of blood, or if her flow of blood continues after her monthly flow ends, no one should touch her until it stops.
And if a woman has an issue of her blood many days not in the time of her impurity, or if she has an issue beyond the time of her impurity, she shall be all the days of the issue of her uncleanness as in the days of her impurity; she is unclean.
26 And no one should touch the bed that she lies on or anything that she sits on while that flow of blood continues, just like during her monthly menstrual period.
Every bed on which she lies all the days of her issue shall be to her as the bed of her impurity, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity.
27 Anyone who touches those things should not touch anyone else; he must wash his clothes and bathe, and he should not touch anyone else until that evening.
And whoever touches those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
28 “After a woman’s monthly menstrual flow ends, she must wait seven days before she touches anyone.
But if she is cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
29 On the eighth/next day, she must take two doves or two pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
And on the eighth day she shall take to her two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting.
30 The priest will sacrifice one of them to be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again, and completely burn the other one [on the altar]. By doing that he will cause me, Yahweh, to forgive her for having sinned [DOU].
And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for her before Jehovah for the issue of her uncleanness.
31 “You must warn the Israeli people not to do things that (defile them/cause them to be unacceptable to me). If they become (unacceptable to me/defiled), they will cause my Sacred Tent which is among them to become an unacceptable place to worship me, and as a result they will die.”
Thus ye shall separate the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, that they not die in their uncleanness when they defile my tabernacle that is in the midst of them.
32 “Those are the regulations for a man who has a fluid that flows from his sexual organs or who should not be touched because some of his semen spills out while having sex [with a woman],
This is the law of him who has an issue, and of him whose seed of copulation goes from him, so that he is unclean thereby,
33 and for any woman during her monthly menstrual period, and for any man who has sex with a woman during her menstrual period.”
and of her who is sick with her impurity, and of him who has an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him who lies with her who is unclean.
