* Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron , saying , * "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 . * This shall be his uncleanness in his discharge : whether his body runs with his discharge , or his body has stopped from his discharge , it is his uncleanness . * "'Every bed whereon he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean ; and everything he sits on shall be unclean . * Whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes , and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening . * He who sits on anything whereon the man who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes , and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening . * "'He who touches the body of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes , and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening . * "'If he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean , then he shall wash his clothes , and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening . * "'Whatever saddle he who has the discharge rides on shall be unclean . * Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening . He who carries those things shall wash his clothes , and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening . * "'Whoever he who has the discharge touches , without having rinsed his hands in water , he shall wash his clothes , and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening . * "'The earthen vessel , which he who has the discharge touches , shall be broken ; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water . * "'When he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge , then he shall count to himself seven days for his cleansing , and wash his clothes ; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water , and shall be clean . * "'On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves , or two young pigeons , and come before Yahweh to the door of the Tent of Meeting , and give them to the priest : * and the priest shall offer them , the one for a sin offering , and the other for a burnt offering . The priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh for his discharge . * "'If any man has an emission of semen , then he shall bathe all his flesh in water , and be unclean until the evening . * Every garment , and every skin , whereon the semen is , shall be washed with water , and be unclean until the evening . * If a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen , they shall both bathe themselves in water , and be unclean until the evening . * "'If a woman has a discharge , and her discharge in her flesh is blood , she shall be in her impurity seven days : and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening . * "'Everything that she lies on in her impurity shall be unclean . Everything also that she sits on shall be unclean . * Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes , and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening . * Whoever touches anything that she sits on shall wash his clothes , and bathe himself in water , and be unclean until the evening . * If it is on the bed , or on anything whereon she sits , when he touches it , he shall be unclean until the evening . * "'If any man lies with her , and her monthly flow is on him , he shall be unclean seven days ; and every bed whereon he lies shall be unclean . * "'If a woman has a discharge of her blood many days not in the time of her period , or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her period ; all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall be as in the days of her period : she is unclean . * Every bed whereon she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her period : and everything whereon she sits shall be unclean , as the uncleanness of her period . * 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 , then she shall count to herself seven days , and after that she shall be clean . * 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 . * The priest shall offer the one for a sin offering , and the other for a burnt offering ; and the priest shall make atonement for her before Yahweh for the uncleanness of her discharge . * "'Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness , so they will not die in their uncleanness , when they defile my tabernacle that is in their midst .'" * This is the law of him who has a discharge , and of him who has an emission of semen , so that he is unclean thereby ; * and of her who has her period , and of a man or woman who has a discharge , and of him who lies with her who is unclean .
