Leviticus 15

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

Yahweh spoke to Moses and to 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 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 issue — his flesh hath run with his issue, or his flesh hath stopped from his issue; 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 '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 lies will be unclean, and everything on which he sits will be unclean.

5 and any one who cometh against his bed doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till 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 sitteth who hath the issue, doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till 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 hath the issue, doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been unclean till 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 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 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 rideth who hath the issue is unclean;

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

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 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.

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 hath the issue cometh 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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 of copulation goeth out from him, then he hath bathed with water all his flesh, and been unclean till 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 of copulation, hath also been washed with water, and been unclean till 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 lieth with seed of copulation, they also have bathed with water, and been unclean till 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 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.

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

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

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.

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

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 till 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 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 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 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.

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 '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 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 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 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 hath been clean from her issue, then she hath numbered to herself seven days, and afterwards 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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 hath an issue, and of him whose seed of copulation goeth out from him, for uncleanness thereby,

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 hath an issue, the issue of a male or of a female, and of a man who lieth 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.'”
