Chapter 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 amongst 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 .
