Leviticus 15
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me and Aaron,
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;
“Tell this to the Israelis: When an infected discharge comes out of a man’s sexual organs [EUP], that fluid should not be touched.
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.
Whether that fluid is blocked or continues to drip, it causes him to be someone who should not be touched.
4 'All the bed on which he lieth who hath the issue is unclean, and all the vessel on which he sitteth is unclean;
“And any bed that such a man lies on should not be touched, and anything that he sits on should not be touched.
5 and any one who cometh against his bed doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the evening.
Anyone who touches that person’s bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that 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.
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.
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.
“Anyone who touches such a man must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that 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 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.
9 'And all the saddle on which he rideth who hath the issue is unclean;
“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,
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 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.
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.
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.
12 'And the earthen vessel which he who hath the issue cometh against is broken; and every wooden vessel is rinsed with water.
“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.
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 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.
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;
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.
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.
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.
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.
“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.
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.
Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed, and no one should touch it until that 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.
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.
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.
“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.
20 'And anything on which she lieth in her separation is unclean, and anything on which she sitteth is unclean;
No one should touch anything that she lies on or sits on during that time.
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.
Anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
“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.
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;
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.
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.
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.
28 'And if she hath been clean from her issue, then she hath numbered to herself seven days, and afterwards she is clean;
“After a woman’s monthly menstrual flow ends, she must wait seven days before she touches anyone.
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;
On the eighth/next day, she must take two doves or two pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
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.
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].
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.
“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.”
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,
“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],
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 for any woman during her monthly menstrual period, and for any man who has sex with a woman during her menstrual period.”
