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 is his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his body runs with his discharge or his body is stopped up from his discharge, it is his uncleanness.
4 Any bed the man with the discharge lies on becomes unclean, and any object he sits on becomes unclean.
5 A person who touches his bed must wash his clothes and bathe in water and will be unclean until evening.
6 One who sits on an object on which the man with the discharge has sat must wash his clothes and bathe in water and will be unclean until evening.
7 One who touches the body of the man with the discharge must wash his clothes and bathe in water and will be unclean until evening.
8 If the man with the discharge spits on someone clean, that person must wash his clothes and bathe in water and will be unclean until evening.
9 Any saddle the man with the discharge rides on becomes unclean.
10 Anyone who touches anything that was under him will be unclean until evening, and one who carries such things must wash his clothes and bathe in water and will be unclean until evening.
11 Anyone the man with the discharge touches without having rinsed his hands in water must wash his clothes and bathe in water and will be unclean until evening.
12 A clay vessel that the man with the discharge touches must be broken, and any wooden vessel must be rinsed in water.
13 "When the man with the discharge becomes clean of his discharge, he shall count off seven days for his cleansing; then he shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in fresh water, and he will be clean.
14 On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, come before the LORD at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and give them to the priest.
15 The priest shall prepare them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and thus the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD because of his discharge.
16 "When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe all his body in water and will be unclean until evening.
17 Any garment or any leather with semen on it must be washed in water and will be unclean until evening.
18 When a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, they shall both bathe in water and be unclean until evening.
19 "When a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood, she shall remain in her impurity for seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening.
20 Anything she lies on during her impurity becomes unclean, and anything she sits on becomes unclean.
21 Anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe in water and will be unclean until evening.
22 Anyone who touches any object she sits on must wash his clothes and bathe in water and will be unclean until evening.
23 Whether it is on the bed or on the object she is sitting on, when he touches it, he will be unclean until evening.
24 If a man actually lies with her and her impurity comes on him, he will be unclean for seven days, and any bed he lies on becomes unclean.
25 "When a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days, not at the time of her impurity, or if her discharge goes on beyond her impurity, all the days of her unclean discharge she shall be as in the days of her impurity; she is unclean.
26 Any bed she lies on all the days of her discharge shall be for her like the bed of her impurity, and any object she sits on becomes unclean, like the uncleanness of her impurity.
27 Anyone who touches them becomes unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe in water and will be unclean until evening.
28 When she becomes clean of her discharge, she shall count off seven days, and after that she will be clean.
29 On the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
30 The priest shall prepare one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and thus the priest shall make atonement for her before the LORD because of her unclean discharge.
31 "In this way you shall keep the children of Israel apart from their uncleanness, so that they will not die in their uncleanness by defiling my tabernacle that is among them."
32 This is the law for the man with a discharge, and for the one who has an emission of semen and becomes unclean by it,
33 for the woman who is unwell with her impurity, for anyone, male or female, who has a discharge, and for the man who lies with an unclean woman.
