Leviticus 15
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and
Aaron, saying, 2 Speak to the children
of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whatever man shall have an issue out of
his body, his issue is unclean. 3 And
this is the law of his uncleanness; whoever has a
gonorrhœa out of his body, this is his uncleanness in him by reason of the
issue, by which his body is affected through the issue: all the days of the
issue of his body, by which his body is affected through the issue, there is
his uncleanness. 4 Every bed on which
he that has the issue shall happen to lie, is unclean; and every seat on which
he that has the issue may happen to sit, shall be unclean.
5 And the man who shall touch his bed,
shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean till
evening. 6 And whosoever sits on the
seat on which he that has the issue may have sat, shall wash his garments, and
bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening.
7 And he that touches the skin of him
that has the issue, shall wash his garments and bathe himself in water, and
shall be unclean till evening. 8 And
if he that has the issue should spit upon one that is clean,
that person shall wash his garments, and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
9 And every ass's saddle, on which the
man with the issue shall have mounted, shall be unclean till evening.
10 And every one that touches
whatsoever shall have been under him shall be unclean until evening; and he
that takes them up shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and
shall be unclean until evening.
11 And whomsoever he that has the
issue shall touch, if he have not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his
garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean until evening.
12 And the earthen vessel which he
that has the issue shall happen to touch, shall be broken; and a wooden vessel
shall be washed with water, and shall be clean.
13 And if he that has the issue
should be cleansed of his issue, then shall he number to himself seven days
for his purification; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in
water, and shall be clean. 14 And on
the eighth day he shall take to himself two turtle-doves or two young pigeons,
and he shall bring them before the Lord to the doors of the tabernacle of
witness, and shall give them to the priest.
15 And the priest shall offer them
one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole-burnt-offering; and the
priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord for his issue.
16 And the man whose seed of
copulation shall happen to go forth from him, shall then wash his whole body,
and shall be unclean until evening.
17 And every garment, and every skin
on which there shall be the seed of copulation shall both be washed with
water, and be unclean until evening.
18 And a woman, if a man shall lie
with her with seed of copulation—they shall both bathe themselves in water and
shall be unclean until evening.
19 And the woman whosoever shall have
an issue of blood, when her issue shall be in her body, shall be seven days in
her separation; every one that touches her shall be unclean until evening.
20 And every thing whereon she shall
lie in her separation, shall be unclean; and whatever she shall sit upon,
shall be unclean. 21 And whosoever
shall touch her bed shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and
shall be unclean until evening.
22 And every one that touches any
vessel on which she shall sit, shall wash his garments and bathe himself in
water, and shall be unclean until evening.
23 And whether it be while she is on
her bed, or on a seat which she may happen to sit upon when he touches her, he
shall be unclean till evening.
24 And if any one shall lie with her,
and her uncleanness be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed
on which he shall have lain shall be unclean.
25 And if a woman have an issue of
blood many days, not in the time of her separation; if the blood should also
flow after her separation, all the days of the issue of her uncleanness
shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be
unclean. 26 And every bed on which
she shall lie all the days of her flux shall be to her as the bed of her
separation, and every seat whereon she shall sit shall be unclean according to
the uncleanness of her separation.
27 Every one that touches it shall be
unclean; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and
shall be unclean till evening. 28 But
if she shall be cleansed from her flux, then she shall number to herself seven
days, and afterwards she shall be esteemed clean.
29 And on the eighth day she shall
take two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and shall bring them to the
priest, to the door of the tabernacle of witness.
30 And the priest shall offer one for
a sin-offering, and the other for a whole-burnt-offering, and the priest shall
make atonement for her before the Lord for her unclean flux.
31 And ye shall cause the children of
Israel to beware of their uncleannesses; so they shall not die for their
uncleanness, in polluting my tabernacle that is among them.
32 This is the law of the man who has
an issue, and if one discharge seed of copulation, so that he should be
polluted by it. 33 And
this is the law for her that has the issue of blood
in her separation, and as to the person who has an issue of seed, in his
issue: it is a law for the male and the female, and
for the man who shall have lain with her that is set apart.
