Leviticus 15
15
1And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man have a flux from his flesh, because of his flux he is unclean. 3And this shall be his uncleanness in his flux: whether his flesh run with his flux, or his flesh be closed from his flux, it is his uncleanness. 4Every bed whereon he lieth that hath the flux shall be unclean; and every object on which he sitteth shall be unclean. 5And whoever toucheth his bed shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even. 6And he that sitteth on any object whereon he sat that hath the flux shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even. 7And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the flux shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even. 8And if he that hath the flux spit upon him that is clean, then he shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even. 9And what carriage soever he rideth upon that hath the flux shall be unclean. 10And whoever toucheth anything that was under him shall be unclean until the even; and he that carrieth them shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even. 11And whomsoever he toucheth who hath the flux and hath not rinsed his hands in water — he shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even. 12And the vessel of earth that he toucheth who hath the flux shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 13And when he that hath a flux is clean of his flux, then he shall count seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and he shall be clean. 14And on the eighth day he shall take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and come before Jehovah unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, and give them unto the priest. 15And the priest shall offer them, one as a sin-offering, and one as a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah for his flux. 16And if any man's seed of copulation pass from him, then he shall bathe his whole flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 17And every garment, and every skin, whereon the seed of copulation shall be, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. 18And a woman with whom a man lieth with seed of copulation — they shall bathe in water, and be unclean until the even.
19And if a woman have a flux, and her flux in her flesh be blood, she shall be seven days in her separation, and whoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. 20And everything that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean; and everything that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. 21And whoever toucheth her bed shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even. 22And whoever toucheth any object that she sat upon shall wash his garments, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even. 23And if it be on the bed, or on anything whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. 24And if a man lie with her at all, and the uncleanness of her separation come upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. 25And if a woman have her flux of blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if she have the flux beyond the time of her separation, all the days of the flux of her uncleanness shall she be as in the days of her separation: she is unclean. 26Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her flux shall be unto her as the bed of her separation; and every object on which she sitteth shall be unclean, according to the uncleanness of her separation. 27And whoever toucheth them shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until the even. 28And if she be cleansed of her flux then she shall count seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 29And on the eighth day she shall take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting. 30And the priest shall offer the one as a sin-offering, and the other as a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her before Jehovah for the flux of her uncleanness. 31And ye shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in their midst. 32This is the law for him that hath a flux, and for the one whose seed of copulation goeth from him, and who is defiled therewith: 33and for a woman who is sick in her separation, and for him that hath his flux; for the man and for the woman, and for him that lieth with her that 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.
