¹The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying ,

²“Speak to the children of Israel , and tell them , ‘When any man has a discharge from his body , because of his discharge he is unclean .

³This shall be his uncleanness in his discharge : whether his body runs with his discharge , or his body has stopped from his discharge , it is his uncleanness .

⁴“‘Every bed on which he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean ; and everything he sits on shall be unclean .

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

⁶He who sits on anything on which the man who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening .

⁷“‘He who touches the body of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening .

⁸“‘If he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean , then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening .

⁹“‘Whatever saddle he who has the discharge rides on shall be unclean .

¹⁰Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening . He who carries those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening .

¹¹“‘Whomever he who has the discharge 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“‘The earthen vessel , which he who has the discharge touches , shall be broken ; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water .

¹³“‘When he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge , then he shall count 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 day he shall take two turtledoves , or two young pigeons , and come before the LORD to the door of the Tent of Meeting , and give them to the priest .

¹⁵The priest shall offer them , the one for a sin offering , and the other for a burnt offering . The priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD for his discharge .

¹⁶“‘If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water , and be unclean until the evening .

¹⁷Every garment and every skin which the semen is on shall be washed with water , and be unclean until the evening .

¹⁸If a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, they shall both bathe themselves in water , and be unclean until the evening .

¹⁹“‘If a woman has a discharge , and her discharge in her flesh is blood , she shall be in her impurity seven days . Whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening .

²⁰“‘Everything that she lies on in her impurity shall be unclean . Everything also that she sits on shall be unclean .

²¹Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening .

²²Whoever touches anything that she sits on shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening .

²³If it is on the bed , or on anything she sits on , when he touches it , he shall be unclean until the evening .

²⁴“‘If any man lies with her , and her monthly flow is on him , he shall be unclean seven days ; and every bed he lies on shall be unclean .

²⁵“‘If a woman has a discharge of her blood many days not in the time of her period , or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her period , all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall be as in the days of her period . She is unclean .

²⁶Every bed she lies on all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her period . Everything she sits on shall be unclean , as the uncleanness of her period .

²⁷Whoever touches these things shall be unclean , and shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening .

²⁸“‘But if she is cleansed of her discharge , then she shall count to herself seven days , and after that she shall be clean .

²⁹On the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves , or two young pigeons , and bring them to the priest , to the door of the Tent of Meeting .

³⁰The 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 the LORD for the uncleanness of her discharge .

³¹“‘Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness , so they will not die in their uncleanness when they defile my tabernacle that is among them .’”

³²This is the law of him who has a discharge , and of him who has an emission of semen, so that he is unclean by it ;

³³and of her who has her period , and of a man or woman who has a discharge , and of him who lies with her who is unclean .
