15
1 The
LORD spoke to
Moses and to Aaron,
saying,
2 “Speak
to the children
of Israel, and
tell them, ‘When
any man has
a discharge from
his body, because
of his discharge
he is unclean.
3 This
shall be his
uncleanness in his
discharge: whether his
body runs with his
discharge, or his
body has stopped
from his discharge,
it is his
uncleanness.
4 “ ‘Every
bed on which
he who has
the discharge lies
shall be unclean;
and everything he
sits on shall
be unclean.
5 Whoever
touches his bed
shall wash
his clothes, and
bathe himself in
water, and be
unclean until the
evening.
6 He
who sits on
anything on which
the man who has
the discharge sat
shall wash
his clothes, and
bathe himself in
water, and be
unclean until the
evening.
7 “ ‘He who
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 “ ‘If
he who has
the discharge
spits on him
who is clean,
then he shall
wash his clothes,
and bathe himself
in water, and
be unclean until
the evening.
9 “ ‘Whatever
saddle he who
has the discharge
rides on shall
be unclean.
10 Whoever
touches anything
that was under
him shall be
unclean until the
evening. He who
carries those
things shall wash
his clothes, and
bathe himself in
water, and be
unclean until the
evening.
11 “ ‘Whomever
he who has
the discharge
touches, without
having rinsed his
hands in water,
he shall wash
his clothes, and
bathe himself in
water, and be
unclean until the
evening.
12 “ ‘The
earthen vessel,
which he who
has the discharge
touches, shall be
broken; and every
vessel of wood
shall be rinsed
in water.
13 “ ‘When
he who has
a discharge is
cleansed of his
discharge, then he
shall count to
himself seven days
for his cleansing,
and wash
his clothes; and
he shall bathe
his flesh in
running water, and
shall be clean.
14 “ ‘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 The
priest shall offer
them, the one
for a sin
offering, and
the other for a
burnt offering.
The priest shall
make atonement for
him before the
LORD for his
discharge.
16 “ ‘If
any man has
an emission
of semen, then he
shall bathe all
his flesh in
water, and be
unclean until the
evening.
17 Every garment and
every skin which
the semen is on
shall be washed
with water, and
be unclean until
the evening.
18 If a man
lies with a woman
and there is
an emission
of semen, they
shall both bathe
themselves in
water, and be
unclean until the
evening.
19 “ ‘If
a woman has
a discharge, and
her discharge in
her flesh is
blood, she shall
be in her
impurity seven
days. Whoever
touches her shall
be unclean until
the evening.
20 “ ‘Everything
that she lies
on in her
impurity shall be
unclean. Everything also
that she sits
on shall be
unclean.
21 Whoever
touches her bed
shall wash
his clothes, and
bathe himself in
water, and be
unclean until the
evening.
22 Whoever
touches anything
that she sits
on shall wash
his clothes, and
bathe himself in
water, and be
unclean until the
evening.
23 If
it is on
the bed, or
on anything she
sits on, when
he touches it,
he shall be
unclean until the
evening.
24 “ ‘If
any man lies
with her, and
her monthly flow is
on him, he
shall be unclean
seven days; and
every bed he
lies on shall
be unclean.
25 “ ‘If
a woman has
a discharge of
her blood many
days not in
the time of
her period, or
if she has
a discharge beyond
the time of
her period, all
the days of
the discharge of
her uncleanness
shall be as
in the days
of her period.
She is unclean.
26 Every
bed she lies
on all the
days of her
discharge shall be
to her as
the bed of
her period.
Everything she
sits on shall
be unclean, as
the uncleanness of
her period.
27 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,
then she shall
count to herself
seven days, and
after that she
shall be clean.
29 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 The
priest shall offer
the one for
a sin offering,
and the other for
a burnt offering;
and the priest
shall make
atonement for her
before the LORD
for the
uncleanness of her
discharge.
31 “ ‘Thus
you shall separate
the children of
Israel from their
uncleanness, so
they will not
die in their
uncleanness when
they defile my
tabernacle that is
among them.’ ”
32 This
is the law
of him who has
a discharge, and
of him who has
an emission
of semen, so that
he is unclean
by it;
33 and
of her who
has her period,
and of a
man or woman
who has a
discharge, and of
him who lies
with her who
is unclean.
