Leviticus 15

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

2 “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.

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

3 His uncleanness is due to this infected fluid. Whether his body flows with fluid or is stopped up, it is unclean.

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 lies will be unclean, and everything on which he sits will be unclean.

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

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

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 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.

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

8 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.

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 Any saddle which he who has a flow rides upon will be unclean.

The saddle on which he hath sitten shall be unclean.

10 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.

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 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.

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 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.

If he touch a vessel of earth, it shall be broken: but if a vessel of wood, if shall be washed with water.

13 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 If any man has an emission of semen, then he must bathe his whole body in water; he will be unclean until 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 Every garment or leather on which there is semen must be washed with water; it will be unclean until evening.

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

18 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

23 Whether it is on the bed or on anything on which she sits, if he touches it, that person will be unclean until 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

27 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.

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

28 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.

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

29 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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,

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

33 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.'”

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.
