Leviticus 15:1-18

Unclean Discharges from the Body

15¹ The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ² "Say to the people of Israel, When any man has a discharge from his body, his discharge is unclean. ³ And this is the law of his uncleanness for a discharge: whether his body runs with his discharge, or his body is stopped from discharge, it is uncleanness in him. ⁴ Every bed on which he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean; and everything on which he sits shall be unclean. ⁵ And any one who touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ⁶ And whoever sits on anything on which he who has the discharge has sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ⁷ And whoever 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 And if he who has the discharge spits on one who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ⁹ And any saddle on which he who has the discharge rides shall be unclean. ¹⁰ And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening; and he who carries such a thing shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ¹¹ Any one whom he that has the discharge touches without having rinsed his hands in water shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. ¹² And the earthen vessel which he who has the discharge touches shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. ¹³ "And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his body in running water, and shall be clean. ¹⁴ And 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 and the priest shall offer them, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord for his discharge. ¹⁶ "And if a man has an emission of semen, he shall bathe his whole body in water, and be unclean until the evening. ¹⁷ And every garment and every skin on which the semen comes shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening. ¹⁸ If a man lies with a woman and has an emission of semen, both of them shall bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.
