Leviticus 15

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: The man who undergoes a flow of seed shall be 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 then he shall be judged subject to this fault, if a filthy fluid, at each moment, adheres to his flesh and gathers there.

His uncleanness is due to this infected fluid. Whether his body flows with fluid or is stopped up, it is unclean.

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

Every bed on which he lies will be unclean, and everything on which he sits will be unclean.

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

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

6 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.

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

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 The saddle on which he has sat shall be unclean.

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

10 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.

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 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.

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

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 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,

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 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.

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 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.

If any man has an emission of semen, then he must bathe his whole body in water; he will be unclean until evening.

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

Every garment or leather on which there is semen must be washed with water; it will be unclean until evening.

18 The woman with whom he has had sexual intercourse shall be washed with water, and she shall be unclean until 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 The woman who, at the return of the month, undergoes the flow of blood shall be separated for seven days.

When a woman menstruates, her impurity will continue for seven days, and whoever touches her will be unclean until evening.

20 All who will touch her shall be unclean until evening.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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 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.

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

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 Whoever will have touched these shall wash his clothes, and having washed himself with water, he shall be unclean until 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 If the blood has stopped and has ceased to flow, she shall number seven days for her purification,

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 shall offer for herself, to the priest, two turtledoves or two young pigeons, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

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 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.

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 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.

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 undergoes a flow of seed, or who is polluted by sexual intercourse,

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

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.'”
