The LORD also spoke
to Moses
and to Aaron
, saying
,
"Speak to the sons
of Israel
, and say
to them, ` aWhen
any
man
has
a discharge
from his 1body
, 2his discharge
is unclean
.
`This, moreover, shall be his uncleanness
in his discharge
: it is his uncleanness
whether his body
allows its discharge
to flow
or
whether his body
obstructs
its discharge
.
`Every bed
on which
the person
with the discharge
lies
becomes
unclean
, and everything
on which
he sits
becomes
unclean
.
`Anyone, moreover, who
touches
his bed
shall wash
his clothes
and bathe
in water
and be unclean
until
evening
;
and whoever sits on the thing
on which
the man with the discharge
has been sitting
, shall wash
his clothes
and bathe
in water
and be unclean
until
evening
.
`Also whoever touches the 1person
with the discharge
shall wash
his clothes
and bathe
in water
and be unclean
until
evening
.
`Or if the man with the discharge
spits
on one who
is clean
, he too shall wash
his clothes
and bathe
in water
and be unclean
until
evening
.
`Every saddle
on which
the person with the discharge
rides
becomes
unclean
.
`Whoever then touches
any
of the things which
were under
him shall be unclean
until
evening
, and he who carries
them shall wash
his clothes
and bathe
in water
and be unclean
until
evening
.
`Likewise, whomever the one with the discharge
touches
without
having rinsed
his hands
in water
shall wash
his clothes
and bathe
in water
and be unclean
until
evening
.
`However, an aearthenware vessel
which
the person with the discharge
touches
shall be broken
, and every
wooden
vessel
shall be rinsed
in water
.
`Now when the man with the discharge
becomes
cleansed
from his discharge
, then he ashall count
off for himself seven
days
for his cleansing
; he shall then wash
his clothes
and bathe
his body
in 1running
water
and will become
clean
.
`Then on the eighth day
he shall take
for himself atwo
turtledoves
or
two
young
pigeons
, and come
before
the LORD
to the doorway
of the tent
of meeting
and give
them to the priest
;
and the priest shall offer
them, aone
for a sin
offering
and the other
for a burnt
offering
. So bthe priest
shall make
atonement
on his behalf
before
the LORD
because
of his discharge
.
` aNow if a 1man
has
a seminal
emission
, he shall bathe
all
his body
in water
and be unclean
until
evening
.
`As for any garment
or any
leather
on which
there is seminal
emission
, it shall be washed
with water
and be unclean
until
evening
.
`If a man lies
with a woman
so that there is a seminal
emission
, they shall both bathe
in water
and be aunclean
until
evening
.
` aWhen a woman
has
a discharge
, if her discharge
in her body
is blood
, she shall continue
in her menstrual
impurity
for seven
days
; and whoever
touches
her shall be unclean
until
evening
.
`Everything also on which
she lies
during her menstrual
impurity
shall be unclean
, and everything
on which
she sits
shall be unclean
.
`Anyone who touches
her bed
shall wash
his clothes
and bathe
in water
and be unclean
until
evening
.
`Whoever touches
any
thing
on which
she sits
shall wash
his clothes
and bathe
in water
and be unclean
until
evening
.
`Whether it be on the bed
or
on the thing
on which
she is sitting
, when he touches
it, he shall be unclean
until
evening
.
` aIf a man
actually
lies
with her so that her menstrual
impurity
is on him, he shall be unclean
seven
days
, and every
bed
on which
he lies
shall be unclean
.
` aNow if a woman
has
a discharge
of her blood
many
days
, not at the period
of her menstrual
impurity
, or
if
she has
a discharge
beyond
1that period
, all
the days
of her impure
discharge
she shall continue
as though 2in her menstrual
impurity
; she is unclean
.
`Any bed
on which
she lies
all
the days
of her discharge
shall be to her like 1her bed
at menstruation
; and every
thing
on which
she sits
shall be unclean
, like 2her uncleanness
at that time
.
`Likewise, whoever touches
them shall be unclean
and shall wash
his clothes
and bathe
in water
and be unclean
until
evening
.
`When she becomes
clean
from her discharge
, she shall count
off for herself seven
days
; and afterward
she will be clean
.
`Then on the eighth day
she shall take
for herself two
turtledoves
or
two
young
pigeons
and bring
them in to the priest
, to the doorway
of the tent
of meeting
.
`The priest shall offer
the aone
for a sin
offering
and the other
for a burnt
offering
. So the priest
shall make
atonement
on her behalf
before
the LORD
because
of her impure
discharge
.'
"Thus you shall keep the sons
of Israel
separated
from their uncleanness
, so
that they will not die
in their uncleanness
by their adefiling
My 1tabernacle
that is among
them."
This is the law
for the one with a discharge
, and for the man 1who
has
a seminal
emission
so that he is unclean
by it,
and for the woman who
is ill
because of menstrual
impurity
, and for the one who has a discharge
, whether a male
or a female
, or a man
who
lies
with an unclean
woman
.
