Leviticus 15

15 ¹Our Father spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

²"Speak to Israel's people and say: When any man has a discharge from his body, his discharge is unclean. ³This is his uncleanness from discharge: whether his body flows with it or is blocked, it is his uncleanness.

⁴"Every bed the man with the discharge lies on is unclean; everything he sits on is unclean. ⁵Whoever touches his bed must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening. ⁶Whoever sits on anything the man with the discharge sat on must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

⁷"Whoever touches the body of the man with the discharge must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening. ⁸If the man with the discharge spits on a clean person, that person must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening.

⁹"Any saddle on which the man with the discharge rides is unclean. ¹⁰Anyone who touches what was under him is unclean until evening; anyone who carries them must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening.

¹¹"Anyone the man with the discharge touches, if the man hasn't rinsed his hands in water, must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and stay unclean until evening. ¹²Any clay pot the man with the discharge touches must be broken; every wooden utensil must be rinsed in water.

¹³"When the man with a discharge is cleansed of it, he must count seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes, bathe his body in fresh flowing water, and be clean. ¹⁴On the eighth day he must take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, come before our Father at the tent of meeting's entrance, and give them to the priest. ¹⁵The priest is to offer one as a sin offering, the other as a burnt offering, and the priest will make atonement for him before our Father for his discharge.

¹⁶"If semen leaves a man, he must bathe his whole body in water and is unclean until evening. ¹⁷Any garment or leather with semen on it must be washed with water and stays unclean until evening. ¹⁸If a man sleeps with a woman and semen is released, both must bathe in water and stay unclean until evening.

¹⁹"When a woman has a blood discharge from her body, she remains in her menstrual impurity seven days; whoever touches her is unclean until evening. ²⁰Everything she lies on during her impurity is unclean, and everything she sits on is unclean. ²¹Whoever touches her bed must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. ²²Whoever touches what she sits on must wash their clothes, bathe in water, and stay unclean until evening. ²³Whether the bed or what she sits on, touching it makes one unclean until evening.

²⁴"If a man lies with her and her menstrual impurity touches him, he is unclean seven days; every bed he lies on is unclean.

²⁵"If a woman's blood flows many days outside her monthly impurity, or beyond it, she stays unclean the whole time of the flow, as in the days of her impurity. ²⁶Every bed she lies on during her discharge is like her menstrual bed; every object she sits on is unclean, like her menstrual impurity. ²⁷Whoever touches them becomes unclean; he must wash his clothes, bathe in water, and remain unclean until evening.

²⁸"Once she is made clean from her flow, she must count seven days, and after that she is clean. ²⁹On the eighth day she must take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest, at the meeting tent's entrance. ³⁰The priest will offer one as a sin offering, the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for her before our Father for her impure discharge.

³¹"Keep the Israelites separate from their impurity, so they don't die in their impurity by making my dwelling place among them unclean.

³²"This is the law for one with a discharge, and for one whose emission of semen makes him unclean, ³³for a woman in her monthly impurity, for anyone, male or female, with a discharge, and for a man who lies with an unclean woman."
