* Again Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron : * »Tell the Israelites : ‘When a man has a discharge from his body , his discharge is unclean . * »‘He is unclean because of the discharge from his body . Whether it is chronic or not makes no difference . He is still unclean . * »‘The man who has a discharge makes everything he lies on or sits on unclean . * »‘Those who touch his bed must wash their clothes and their bodies . They will be unclean until evening . * »‘Those who sit on anything he sat on must wash their clothes and their bodies . They will be unclean until evening . * »‘Those who touch a man who has a discharge must wash their clothes and their bodies . They will be unclean until evening . * »‘Should a man who has a discharge spit on anyone who is clean , the person he spits on must wash his clothes and his body . He will be unclean until evening . * »‘When a man who has a discharge sits on a saddle , it becomes unclean . * »‘Those who carry such things must wash their clothes and their bodies . They will be unclean until evening . * »‘If a man who has a discharge touches anyone without first rinsing his hands , the person he touched must wash his clothes and his body . He will be unclean until evening . * »‘When a man who has a discharge touches pottery , it must be broken . When he touches a wooden bucket it must be rinsed . * »‘When a man 's discharge stops , he must wait seven days to be cleansed . He must wash his clothes and his body in fresh water . Then he will be clean . * »‘He must take two mourning doves or two pigeons and come into Jehovah ’s presence at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting on the eighth day . He will give these birds to the priest . * »‘The priest will sacrifice one as an offering for sin and the other as a burnt offering . Thus in Jehovah ’s presence , the priest will pay compensation for the wrongdoing and make peace with Jehovah for the man who had a discharge . * »‘If a man has an emission of semen , he must bathe his whole body . He will be unclean until evening . * »‘Any clothes or any leather with semen on it must be washed . It will be unclean until evening . * »‘When a man has sexual intercourse with a woman and has an emission of semen , they must wash themselves . They will be unclean until evening . * »‘When a woman has her monthly period , she will be unclean for seven days . Those who touch her will be unclean until evening . * »‘Everything she lies on or sits on during her period will be unclean . * »‘Those who touch her bed must wash their clothes and their bodies . They will be unclean until evening . * »‘Those who touch anything she sits on must wash their clothes and their bodies . They will be unclean until evening . * »‘If her blood touches anything on the bed or anything she sits on , it will be unclean until evening . * »‘If a man has sexual intercourse with her while she has her period , he will be unclean for seven days . Any bed he lies on will become unclean . * »‘When a woman has a discharge of blood for many days other than her monthly period , she is unclean . If her period lasts longer than usual , she will be unclean as long as she has a discharge . It is similar to her period . * »‘As long as she has a discharge , any bed she lies on or anything she sits on is unclean . It is similar to her period . * »‘Those who touch these things are unclean and must wash their clothes and their bodies . They will be unclean until evening . * »‘When her discharge stops she must wait seven days . After that she will be clean . * »‘She must take two mourning doves or two pigeons on the eighth day and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting . * »‘The priest will offer one as an offering for sin and the other as a burnt offering . So in Jehovah ’s presence the priest will pay compensation for wrongdoing and make peace with Jehovah for the woman who had an unclean discharge .’« * »You must separate the Israelites from anything that keeps them from being presentable to me . Otherwise they will die . This is because they defile my tent , which is among them , and make it unclean .« * These are the instructions for any man , who has a discharge or an emission of semen that makes him unclean , * for any woman who has her period , for any man or woman who has a discharge , or for any man who has sexual intercourse with a woman when she is unclean .
