[1] The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, [2] "Say to the people of Israel,
When any man has a discharge from his body, his discharge is unclean. [3]
And this is the law of his uncleanness for a discharge: whether his body
runs with his discharge, or his body is stopped from discharge, it is
uncleanness in him. [4] Every bed on which he who has the discharge lies
shall be unclean; and everything on which he sits shall be unclean. [5] And
any one who touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
water, and be unclean until the evening. [6] And whoever sits on anything
on which he who has the discharge has sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. [7] And whoever 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] And if he who has
the discharge spits on one who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. [9] And any
saddle on which he who has the discharge rides shall be unclean. [10] And
whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the
evening; and he who carries such a thing shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. [11] Any one whom he
that has the discharge touches without having rinsed his hands in water
shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until
the evening. [12] And the earthen vessel which he who has the discharge
touches shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.
[13] "And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he
shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes;
and he shall bathe his body in running water, and shall be clean. [14] And
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; [15] and the priest shall offer them, one for a sin offering
and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make atonement for
him before the LORD for his discharge. [16] "And if a man has an emission
of semen, he shall bathe his whole body in water, and be unclean until the
evening. [17] And every garment and every skin on which the semen comes
shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening. [18] If a man
lies with a woman and has an emission of semen, both of them shall bathe
themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. [19] "When a woman
has a discharge of blood which is her regular discharge from her body, she
shall be in her impurity for seven days, and whoever touches her shall be
unclean until the evening. [20] And everything upon which she lies during
her impurity shall be unclean; everything also upon which she sits shall be
unclean. [21] And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. [22] And whoever
touches anything upon which she sits shall wash his clothes, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the evening; [23] whether it is the
bed or anything upon which she sits, when he touches it he shall be unclean
until the evening. [24] And if any man lies with her, and her impurity is
on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed on which he lies
shall be unclean. [25] "If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days,
not at the time of her impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond the time
of her impurity, all the days of the discharge she shall continue in
uncleanness; as in the days of her impurity, she shall be unclean. [26]
Every bed on which she lies, all the days of her discharge, shall be to her
as the bed of her impurity; and everything on which she sits shall be
unclean, as in the uncleanness of her impurity. [27] And whoever 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, she shall count for herself seven days, and
after that she shall be clean. [29] And on 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. [30] And the priest shall offer one for a sin
offering and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make
atonement for her before the LORD for her unclean discharge. [31] "Thus you
shall keep the people of Israel separate from their uncleanness, lest they
die in their uncleanness by defiling my tabernacle that is in their midst."
[32] This is the law for him who has a discharge and for him who has an
emission of semen, becoming unclean thereby; [33] also for her who is sick
with her impurity; that is, for any one, male or female, who has a
discharge, and for the man who lies with a woman who is unclean.
