Leviticus 15

1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

2 “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.

Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whatever man shall have an issue out of his body, his issue is unclean.

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

And this [is] the law of his uncleanness; whoever has a gonorrhoea out of his body, this is his uncleanness in him by reason of the issue, by which, his body is affected through the issue: all the days of the issue of his body, by which his body is affected through the issue, there is his uncleanness.

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

Every bed on which he that has the issue shall happen to lie, is unclean; and every seat on which he that has the issue may happen to sit, shall be unclean.

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

And the man who shall touch his bed, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean till evening.

6 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.

And whoever sits on the seat on which he that has the issue may have sat, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening.

7 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.

And he that touches the skin of him that has the issue, shall wash his garments and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean till evening.

8 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.

And if he that has the issue should spit upon one that is clean, [that person] shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.

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

And every ass's saddle, on which the man with the issue shall have mounted, shall be unclean till evening.

10 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.

And every one that touches whatever shall have been under him shall be unclean until evening; and he that takes them up shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening.

11 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.

And whoever he that has the issue shall touch, if he have not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean until evening.

12 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.

And the earthen vessel which he that has the issue shall happen to touch, shall be broken; and a wooden vessel shall be washed with water, and shall be clean.

13 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.

and if he that has the issue should be cleansed of his issue, then shall he number to himself seven days for his purification; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be clean.

14 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.

And on the eighth day he shall take to himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and he shall bring them before the Lord to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall give them to the priest.

15 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.

And the priest shall offer them one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord for his issue.

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

And the man whose seed of copulation shall happen to go forth from him, shall then wash his whole body, and shall be unclean until evening.

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

And every garment, and every skin on which there shall be the seed of copulation shall both be washed with water, and be unclean until evening.

18 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.

And a woman, if a man shall lie with her with seed of copulation—they shall both bathe themselves in water and shall be unclean until evening.

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

And the woman whoever shall have an issue of blood, when her issue shall be in her body, shall be seven days in her separation; every one that touches her shall be unclean until evening.

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

And every thing whereon she shall lie in her separation, shall be unclean; and whatever she shall sit upon, shall be unclean.

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

And whoever shall touch her bed shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean until evening.

22 Whoever touches anything that she sits on must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; that person will be unclean until evening.

and every one that touches any vessel on which she shall sit, shall wash his garments and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening.

23 Whether it is on the bed or on anything on which she sits, if he touches it, that person will be unclean until evening.

And whether it be while she is on her bed, or on a seat which she may happen to sit upon when he touches her, he shall be unclean till evening.

24 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.

And if any one shall lie with her, and her uncleanness be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed on which he shall have lain shall be unclean.

25 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.

And if a woman have an issue of blood many days, not in the time of her separation; if the blood should also flow after her separation, all the days of the issue of her uncleanness [shall be] as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.

26 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.

And every bed on which she shall lie all the days of her flux shall be to her as the bed of her separation, and every seat whereon she shall sit shall be unclean according to the uncleanness of her separation.

27 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.

Every one that touches it shall be unclean; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean till evening.

28 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.

But if she shall be cleansed from her flux, then she shall number to herself seven days, and afterwards she shall be esteemed clean.

29 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.

And on the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and shall bring them to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of witness.

30 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.

And the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for her before the Lord for her unclean flux.

31 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.

And you shall cause the children of Israel to beware of their uncleannesses; so they shall not die for their uncleanness, in polluting my tabernacle that is amongst them.

32 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,

This is the law of the man who has an issue, and if one discharge seed of copulation, so that he should be polluted by it.

33 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.'”

And [this is the law] for her that has the issue of blood in her separation, and as to the person who has an issue of seed, in his issue: [it is a law] for the male and the female, and for the man who shall have lain with her that is set apart.
