¹ And Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,² Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When any man has discharging out of his flesh a [genital] discharge, he is unclean.³ And this shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his flesh runs his discharge, or his flesh be stopped from his discharge, he is unclean. All the days that his flesh runs his discharge or that his flesh withholds his discharge, it is his uncleanness.⁴ Every bed whereon he that has the discharge lies shall be unclean; and everything whereon he sits shall be unclean.⁵ And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.⁶ And he that sits on anything whereon he that has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.⁷ And he that touches the flesh of him that has the discharge shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.⁸ And if he that has the discharge spits on him that is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.⁹ And whatever saddle he that has the discharge rides on shall be unclean.¹⁰ And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening: and he that bears those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.¹¹ And whoever he that 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.¹² And the earthen vessel, which he that has the discharge touches, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.¹³ And when he that has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.¹⁴ And on the eighth day he shall take to himself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and come before Yahweh to the door of the tent of meeting, and give them to the priest:¹⁵ and the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh for his discharge.¹⁶ And if any man's semen goes out from him, then he shall bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening.¹⁷ And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the semen, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.¹⁸ And if a woman shall lie with a man, with an emission of semen, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.

¹⁹ And if a woman has a [genital] 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.²⁰ And everything that she lies on in her impurity shall be unclean: everything also that she sits on shall be unclean.²¹ And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.²² And whoever touches anything that she sits on shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.²³ And if it is on the bed, or on anything whereon she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the evening.²⁴ And if any man lies with her, and her impurity is on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lies shall be unclean.²⁵ And if a woman has a discharge of her blood many days not in the time of her impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her impurity; all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness she shall be as in the days of her impurity: she is unclean.²⁶ Every bed whereon she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her impurity: and everything whereon she sits shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity.²⁷ And whoever touches those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.²⁸ But if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.²⁹ And on the eighth day she shall take to herself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting.³⁰ And 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 discharge of her uncleanness.³¹ Thus you shall separate the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, that they will not die in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in the midst of them.³² This is the law of him that has a discharge, and of him whose semen goes from him, so that he is unclean thereby;³³ and of her in her menstrual impurity, and of him that has a discharge, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lies with her that is unclean.
