CHAPTER 15
This
uncleanness
is
from his discharge,
whether his body
allows
the discharge to flow
or
blocks it.
So his discharge
will bring about
uncleanness.
Any
bed
on
which
the man with the discharge
lies
will be unclean,
and any
furniture
on
which
he sits
will be unclean.
Anyone
who
touches
his bed
must wash
his clothes
and bathe
with water,
and he will be unclean
until
evening.
Whoever sits
on
furniture
on
which
the man with the discharge
was sitting
must wash
his clothes
and bathe
with water,
and he will be unclean
until
evening.
Whoever touches
the body
of the man with a discharge
must wash
his clothes
and bathe
with water,
and he will be unclean
until
evening.
If
the man with the discharge
spits
on one who is clean,
that person must wash
his clothes
and bathe
with water,
and he will be unclean
until
evening.
Whoever
touches
anything
that
was
under
him will be unclean
until
evening,
and whoever carries
such things
must wash
his clothes
and bathe
with water,
and he will be unclean
until
evening.
If the man with the discharge
touches
anyone
without
first rinsing
his hands
with water,
the one who was touched must wash
his clothes
and bathe
with water,
and he will be unclean
until
evening.
Any clay
pot
that
the man with the discharge
touches
must be broken,
and any
wooden
utensil
must be rinsed
with water.
When
the man
has been cleansed
from his discharge,
he must count off
seven
days
for his
cleansing,
wash
his clothes,
and bathe
himself
in fresh
water,
and he shall be clean.
On the eighth
day
he is to take
two
turtledoves
or
two
young
pigeons,
come
before
the LORD
at
the entrance
to the Tent
of Meeting,
and give
them to
the priest.
The priest
is to sacrifice
them,
one
as a sin offering
and the other
as a burnt offering.
In this way the priest
will make atonement
for
the man before
the LORD
because of his discharge.
When
a man
has an emission
of semen,
he must bathe
his whole
body
with water,
and he will be unclean
until
evening.
Any
clothing
or leather
on
which
there is
an emission
of semen
must be washed
with water,
and it will remain unclean
until
evening.
If a man
lies with
a woman
and there is an emission
of semen,
both must bathe
with water,
and they will remain unclean
until
evening.
When
a woman
has
a discharge
consisting
of blood
from her body,
for seven
days
she will be
unclean due to menstruation,
and anyone
who touches
her
will be unclean
until
evening.
and anyone
who touches
her bed
must wash
his clothes
and bathe
with water,
and he will be unclean
until
evening.
And whoever
touches
any
furniture
on
which
she was sitting
must wash
his clothes
and bathe
with water,
and he will be unclean
until
evening,
and whether
it is
a bed
or
furniture
on
which
she
was sitting,
whoever touches
it
will be unclean
until
evening.
If
a man
lies with
her
and her menstrual flow
touches
him,
he will be unclean
for seven
days,
and any
bed
on
which
he lies
will become unclean.
When
a woman
has a discharge
of her blood
for many
days
at a time
other than
her menstrual period,
or
if
it continues
beyond
her period,
she
will be
unclean
all
the days
of her unclean
discharge,
just as she is during the days
of her menstruation.
Any
bed
on
which
she lies
or any
furniture
on
which
she sits
during the days
of her discharge
will be
unclean,
like her bed
during her menstrual period.
Anyone
who touches
these things
will be unclean;
he must wash
his clothes
and bathe
with water,
and he will be unclean
until
evening.
When
a woman is cleansed
of her discharge,
she must count off
seven
days,
and after that
she will be clean.
On the eighth
day
she is to take
two
turtledoves
or
two
young
pigeons
and bring
them to
the priest
at
the entrance
to the Tent
of Meeting.
The priest
is to sacrifice
one
as a sin offering
and the other
as a burnt offering.
In this way the priest
will make atonement
for
her before
the LORD
for her unclean
discharge.
You must keep
the children
of Israel separate
from their uncleanness,
so that they do not
die
by defiling
My tabernacle
that
is among them.
This
is the law
of him who has a discharge,
of the man who
has
a seminal
emission
whereby
he is unclean,
of a woman
in her menstrual period,
of any male
or female
who has a discharge,
and of a man
who
lies
with
an unclean woman.”
