Leviticus 15

Purification From Discharges
1Adonai spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:
2“Speak to Bnei-Yisrael and tell them: When any man has a fluid discharge from his body, because of his discharge he is unclean.
3This is to be his uncleanness in his discharge. Whether his body flows with his discharge or his body obstructs his discharge, it is his uncleanness.
4“Every bed on which he who has the discharge lies will become unclean, and everything he sits on will be unclean.
5Whoever touches his bed is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
6Whoever sits on anything on which the man who has the discharge sat is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
7Whoever touches the body of the one who has the discharge is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
8Or if the one who has the discharge spits on someone who is clean, then he also is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
9“Any saddle the one who has the discharge rides on will be unclean.
10Whoever touches anything that was under him will be unclean until the evening. Whoever carries them is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
11“Also anyone the person with the discharge touches without rinsing his hands in water shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
12“A clay pot that one with the discharge touches shall be broken, and every wooden vessel shall be rinsed in water.
13“When the one who has a fluid discharge is cleansed of his issue, then he is to count for himself seven days for his purification and wash his clothes. Then he is to bathe his body in running water, and he will be clean.
14On the eighth day he is to take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before Adonai at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the kohen.
15The kohen is to offer them, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. So the kohen shall make atonement for him before Adonai for his fluid discharge.
16“If any man has an emission of semen, then he is to bathe his whole body in water and be unclean until the evening.
17Every garment and all leather with semen on it are to be washed with water, and will be unclean until the evening.
18If 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 from her body is blood, she shall be in her niddah seven days. And whoever touches her will be unclean until the evening.
20Everything that she lies on in her niddah will become unclean. Also everything that she sits on will become unclean.
21Whoever touches her bed is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
22Whoever touches anything that she sits on is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
23If it is on the bed or on anything where she sits, when he touches it, he will be unclean until the evening.
24If any man lies with her, so that her niddah gets on him, he will be unclean for seven days and every bed where he lies will be unclean.
25“Now if a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days not during her niddah or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her niddah all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall be as in the days of her niddah . She is unclean.
26Every bed where she lies all the days of her discharge will be like her bed during her niddah , and everything she sits on will become unclean like the uncleanness of her niddah .
27Whoever touches these things will become unclean and is to 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 is to count off seven days for herself, and after that she will be clean.
29On the eighth day she is to take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and bring them to the kohen, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
30The kohen is to offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. So the kohen will make atonement for her before Adonai for the uncleanness of her discharge.
31“So you are to keep Bnei-Yisrael separate from their uncleanness, so they will not die in their uncleanness by defiling My Tabernacle that is in their midst.”
32This is the Torah for one who has a discharge or for one who has an emission of semen, which causes him to become unclean,
33as well as for her who has her period of niddah , and for the man or woman who has a discharge, or the one who lies with her who is unclean.

Rules for Discharges From the Body
1The Lord also said to Moses and Aaron, 2“Say to the Israelites: Whoever has a genital discharge is unclean. 3The person is unclean whether the discharge continues to flow or whether it stops.
4“If a man with a discharge lies on a bed, that bed becomes unclean. Everything he sits on will become unclean. 5If you touch that bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe in water. You will be unclean until evening. 6If you sit on anything that he sat on, you must wash your clothes and bathe in water. You will be unclean until evening. 7If you touch him, you must wash your clothes and bathe in water. You will be unclean until evening. 8If he spits on you, you must wash your clothes and bathe in water. You will be unclean until evening. 9If that man sits on a saddle, it will become unclean. 10If you touch or carry anything that was under him, you will be unclean until evening. 11If he touches you, you must wash your clothes and bathe in water. You will be unclean until evening.
12“If a man with a discharge touches a clay bowl, that bowl must be broken. If he touches a wooden bowl, that bowl must be washed in water.
13“When it comes time for a man with a discharge to be made clean, he must wait seven days. Then he must wash his clothes and bathe his body in running water. Then he will become clean. 14On the eighth day, he must take for himself two doves or two young pigeons and come before the Lord at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. He will give the two birds to the priest. 15The priest will offer the birds, one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make that man pure before the Lord.
16“If a man has a flow of semen, he must bathe his whole body in water. He will be unclean until evening. 17If the semen is on any clothing or leather, that clothing or leather must be washed with water. It will be unclean until evening. 18If a woman has sexual relations with a man, and he has a flow of semen, both the man and the woman must bathe in water. They will be unclean until evening.
19“If a woman has a discharge from her monthly time of bleeding, she will be unclean for seven days. Anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening. 20Everything she lies on during her monthly time of bleeding will be unclean. And everything she sits on during that time will be unclean. 21Whoever touches her bed must wash their clothes and bathe in water. They will be unclean until evening. 22Whoever touches anything she has sat on must wash their clothes and bathe in water. They will be unclean until evening. 23It doesn’t matter if they touched the woman’s bed or if they touched something she sat on, they will be unclean until evening.
24“If a man has sexual relations with a woman during her monthly time of bleeding, he will be unclean for seven days. Every bed he lies on will be unclean.
25“If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days, not during her time of monthly bleeding, or if she has a discharge after that time, she will be unclean, just as during the time of her monthly bleeding. She will be unclean for as long as she has a discharge. 26Any bed she lies on during the time of her discharge will be like her bed during the time of her monthly bleeding. Everything she sits on will be unclean, just as it is during the time she is unclean from her monthly bleeding. 27Whoever touches these things will be unclean until evening. They must wash their own clothes and bathe in water. 28After the woman’s discharge stops, she must wait seven days. After that she will be clean. 29Then on the eighth day, she must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. 30Then the priest must offer one bird for a sin offering and the other bird for a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make her pure before the Lord.
31“So you must warn the Israelites about being unclean. If you don’t warn the people, they might make my Holy Tent unclean. And then they would have to die!”
32These are the rules for anyone with a discharge from the body. These rules are for men who become unclean from a flow of semen. 33And these rules are for women who become unclean from their monthly time of bleeding. And these are the rules for anyone who becomes unclean by sleeping with another person who is unclean.
