Leviticus:15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron ,
* "
Say to the people of Israel ,
When any man has a discharge from his body ,
his discharge is unclean .
*
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 .
*
Every bed on which he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean ;
and everything on which he sits shall be unclean .
*
And any one who touches his bed shall wash his clothes ,
and bathe himself in water ,
and be unclean until the evening .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And any saddle on which he who has the discharge rides shall be unclean .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the earthen vessel which he who has the discharge touches shall be broken ;
and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water .
* "
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 .
*
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 ;
*
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 .
* "
And if a man has an emission of semen ,
he shall bathe his whole body in water ,
and be unclean until the evening .
*
And every garment and every skin on which the semen comes shall be washed with water ,
and be unclean until the evening .
*
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 .
* "
When a woman has a discharge of blood which is her regular discharge from her body ,
she shall be in her impurity for seven days ,
and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening .
*
And everything upon which she lies during her impurity shall be unclean ;
everything also upon which she sits shall be unclean .
*
And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes ,
and bathe himself in water ,
and be unclean until the evening .
*
And whoever touches anything upon which she sits shall wash his clothes ,
and bathe himself in water ,
and be unclean until the evening ;
*
whether it is the bed or anything upon which she sits ,
when he touches it he shall be unclean until the evening .
*
And if any man lies with her ,
and her impurity is on him ,
he shall be unclean seven days ;
and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean .
* "
If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days ,
not at the time of her impurity ,
or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her impurity ,
all the days of the discharge she shall continue in uncleanness ;
as in the days of her impurity ,
she shall be unclean .
*
Every bed on which she lies ,
all the days of her discharge ,
shall be to her as the bed of her impurity ;
and everything on which she sits shall be unclean ,
as in the uncleanness of her impurity .
*
And whoever touches these things shall be unclean ,
and shall wash his clothes ,
and bathe himself in water ,
and be unclean until the evening .
*
But if she is cleansed of her discharge ,
she shall count for herself seven days ,
and after that she shall be clean .
*
And on the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons ,
and bring them to the priest ,
to the door of the tent of meeting .
*
And the priest shall offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering ;
and the priest shall make atonement for her before the LORD for her unclean discharge .
* "
Thus you shall keep the people of Israel separate from their uncleanness ,
lest they die in their uncleanness by defiling my tabernacle that is in their midst ."
*
This is the law for him who has a discharge and for him who has an emission of semen ,
becoming unclean thereby ;
*
also for her who is sick with her impurity ;
that is ,
for any one ,
male or female ,
who has a discharge ,
and for the man who lies with a woman who is unclean .
