Leviticus Chapter 15

1-2 Yahveh told Moses and Aaron to say to Israel,

“When a man has a discharge from his body, it’s ceremonially unclean 3 whether it keeps flowing or stops on its own. 4 Anything he lies on or sits on is unclean. 5-6 If any of you touch his bed or anything he sits on, wash your clothes, take a bath, and be unclean till evening. 7 Any of you that touch a person with a discharge will do the same and be unclean till evening. 8 If someone with a discharge spits on any of you that are clean, wash your clothes, take a bath, and be unclean till evening. 9 Any saddle a person with a discharge rides on is unclean. 10 If any of you touch anything what was under him, wash your clothes, take a bath, and be unclean till evening. 11 Likewise, if the one with the discharge touches any of you without rinsing his hands, wash your clothes, take a bath, and be unclean till evening. 12 Break any clay container he touches and rinse any wooden container in water.     Lev 15:1-12      

13 “To become ceremonially clean, a man with a discharge will count off a week for his cleansing. He’ll wash his clothes and take a bath in running water and be clean. 14 On the eighth day, he’ll take two turtledoves or young pigeons, and give them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 15 The priest will offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. He’ll purify him from his discharge before Yahveh.

Lev 15:13-15

16 “If a man has a discharge of semen, he’ll take a bath and be ceremonially unclean till evening. 17 He’ll wash any piece of clothes or leather that has semen on it, and it’ll be unclean till evening. 18 If a man has relations with a woman so that there’s an emission of semen, they’ll both take a bath and be unclean till evening.

Lev 15:16-18

19 “When a woman has her period, she’ll be in her menstrual impurity for a week. If any of you touch her, you’ll be ceremonially unclean till evening. 20 Anything she lies on or sits on is unclean. [ 21 ] 22-23 If any of you touch anything she sits on or lies on, wash your clothes, take a bath, and be unclean till evening. 24 If a man has relations with her during her period, he’ll be unclean for a week, and any bed he lies on will be unclean.                               

Lev 15:19-24

25 “If a woman has a discharge of blood many days outside her period or beyond her period, she’ll be ceremonially unclean like during her period. 26 Any bed she lies on or anything she sits on is unclean like during her period. 27 If any of you touch them, you’ll be unclean. Wash your clothes, take a bath, and be unclean till evening. 28 To become clean from her discharge, she’ll count off a week; afterward she’ll be clean. 29 On the eighth day, she’ll take two turtledoves or young pigeons, and take them in to the priest, to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 30 He’ll offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering to purify her.

31 “That’s how you’ll keep Israelites separated from their ceremonial uncleanness so they won’t die for defiling my Tabernacle.” 

32 That law deals with anyone that has a discharge: a man that has an emission of semen, 33 a woman during her period, a man that lies with an unclean woman.
