Leviticus 15

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

2 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and ye have said unto them, When there is an issue out of the flesh of any man, [for] his issue he [is] unclean;

Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: The man who undergoes a flow of seed shall be unclean.

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

And then he shall be judged subject to this fault, if a filthy fluid, at each moment, adheres to his flesh and gathers there.

4 'All the bed on which he lieth who hath the issue is unclean, and all the vessel on which he sitteth is unclean;

Every bed on which he sleeps shall be unclean, and every place where he sits.

5 and any one who cometh against his bed doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

If any man has touched his couch, he shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

6 'And he who is sitting on the vessel on which he sitteth who hath the issue, doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

If he will have sat where that man has sat, he shall also wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

7 'And he who is coming against the flesh of him who hath the issue, doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been unclean till the evening.

Whoever has touched his flesh shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

8 'And when he who hath the issue spitteth on him who is clean, then he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

If such a man has cast his spittle upon him who is clean, he shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

9 'And all the saddle on which he rideth who hath the issue is unclean;

The saddle on which he has sat shall be unclean.

10 and any one who is coming against anything which is under him is unclean till the evening, and he who is bearing them doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

And whatever has been under him who has undergone a flow of seed shall be polluted until evening. Whoever carries any of these things shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

11 'And anyone against whom he cometh who hath the issue (and his hands hath not rinsed with water) hath even washed his garments, and bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

All whom such a one has touched, not having washed his hands before, shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

12 'And the earthen vessel which he who hath the issue cometh against is broken; and every wooden vessel is rinsed with water.

If he has touched an earthen vessel, it shall be broken. But if it is a wooden vessel, it shall be washed with water.

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

If he who suffers from this affliction will have been healed, he shall number seven days after his cleansing, and having washed his clothes and his entire body in living water, he shall be clean.

14 'And on the eighth day he taketh to himself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and hath come in before Jehovah unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hath given them unto the priest;

Then, on the eighth day, he shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and he shall advance, in the sight of the Lord, toward the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and he shall give these to the priest,

15 and the priest hath made them, one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering; and the priest hath made atonement for him before Jehovah, because of his issue.

who shall offer one for sin, and the other as a holocaust. And he shall pray for him before the Lord, so that he may be cleansed from the flow of his seed.

16 'And when a man's seed of copulation goeth out from him, then he hath bathed with water all his flesh, and been unclean till the evening.

A man from whom the seed of sexual intercourse goes out shall wash his entire body with water, and he shall be unclean until evening.

17 'And any garment, or any skin on which there is seed of copulation, hath also been washed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

The garment or skin which he will have, he shall wash with water, and it shall be unclean until evening.

18 'And a woman with whom a man lieth with seed of copulation, they also have bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

The woman with whom he has had sexual intercourse shall be washed with water, and she shall be unclean until evening.

19 'And when a woman hath an issue — blood is her issue in her flesh — seven days she is in her separation, and any one who is coming against her is unclean till the evening.

The woman who, at the return of the month, undergoes the flow of blood shall be separated for seven days.

20 'And anything on which she lieth in her separation is unclean, and anything on which she sitteth is unclean;

All who will touch her shall be unclean until evening.

21 and any one who is coming against her bed doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

And everything on which she sleeps or sits, in the days of her separation, shall be polluted.

22 'And any one who is coming against any vessel on which she sitteth doth wash his garments, and hath washed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

Whoever will have touched her bed shall wash his clothes, and having washed himself with water, he shall 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 till the evening.

Anyone who will have touched any item on which she has sat shall wash his clothes, and having washed himself with water, he shall be polluted until evening.

24 'And if a man really lie with her, and her separation is on him, then he hath been unclean seven days, and all the bed on which he lieth is unclean.

If a man has sexual intercourse with her in the time of her monthly flow of blood, he shall be unclean for seven days, and every bed on which he sleeps shall be polluted.

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

The woman who undergoes a flow of blood many days beyond her time of menstruation, or whose blood does not cease to flow after the menstrual blood, as long as she is subject to this affliction, she shall be unclean, just as if she were in her time of menstruation.

26 'All the bed on which she lieth all the days of her issue is as the bed of her separation to her, and all the vessel on which she sitteth is unclean as the uncleanness of her separation;

Every bed on which she sleeps, and every item on which she sits, shall be polluted.

27 and any one who is coming against them is unclean, and hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.

Whoever will have touched these shall wash his clothes, and having washed himself with water, he shall be unclean until evening.

28 'And if she hath been clean from her issue, then she hath numbered to herself seven days, and afterwards she is clean;

If the blood has stopped and has ceased to flow, she shall number seven days for her purification,

29 and on the eighth day she taketh to herself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and hath brought them in unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting;

and on the eighth day she shall offer for herself, to the priest, two turtledoves or two young pigeons, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

30 and the priest hath made the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering, and the priest hath made atonement for her before Jehovah, because of the issue of her uncleanness.

And he shall offer one for sin, and the other as a holocaust, and he shall pray for her before the Lord, and for the flow of her uncleanness.

31 'And ye have separated the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, and they die not in their uncleanness, in their defiling My tabernacle which [is] in their midst.

Therefore, you shall teach the sons of Israel to be cautious of uncleanness, so that they may not die in their filth, when they will have polluted my tabernacle, which is among them.

32 'This [is] the law of him who hath an issue, and of him whose seed of copulation goeth out from him, for uncleanness thereby,

This is the law of him who undergoes a flow of seed, or who is polluted by sexual intercourse,

33 and of her who is sick in her separation, and of him who hath an issue, the issue of a male or of a female, and of a man who lieth with an unclean woman.'

and of her who is separated in the time of menstruation, or who has a continual flow of blood, and of the man who sleeps with her.
