1And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
1And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2“Say to the Israelites, ‘When any man has a bodily discharge, the discharge is unclean.
2Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: The man that hath an issue of seed, shall be unclean.
3This uncleanness is from his discharge, whether his body allows the discharge to flow or blocks it. So his discharge will bring about uncleanness.
3And then shall he be judged subject to this evil, when a filthy humour, at every moment, cleaveth to his flesh, and gathereth there.
4Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies will be unclean, and any furniture on which he sits will be unclean.
4Every bed on which he sleepeth, shall be unclean, and every place on which he sitteth.
5Anyone who touches his bed must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
5If ally man touch his bed, he shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until the evening.
6Whoever sits on furniture on which the man with the discharge was sitting must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
6If a man sit where that man hath sitten, he also shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, shall be unclean until the evening.
7Whoever touches the body of the man with a discharge must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
7He that toucheth his flesh, shall wash his clothes: and being himself washed with water shall be unclean until the evening.
8If the man with the discharge spits on one who is clean, that person must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
8If such a man cast his spittle upon him that is clean, he shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until the evening.
9Any saddle on which the man with the discharge rides will be unclean.
9The saddle on which he hath sitten shall be unclean.
10Whoever touches anything that was under him will be unclean until evening, and whoever carries such things must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
10And whatsoever has been under him that hath the issue of seed, shall be unclean until the evening. He that carrieth any of these things, shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, he shall be unclean until the evening.
11If the man with the discharge touches anyone without first rinsing his hands with water, the one who was touched must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
11Every person whom such a one shall touch, not having washed his hands before, shall wash his clothes: and being washed with water, shall be unclean until the evening.
12Any clay pot that the man with the discharge touches must be broken, and any wooden utensil must be rinsed with water.
12If he touch a vessel of earth, it shall be broken: but if a vessel of wood, if shall be washed with water.
13When the man has been cleansed from his discharge, he must count off seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes, and bathe himself in fresh water, and he shall be clean.
13If he who suffereth this disease be healed, he shall number seven days after his cleansing, and having washed his clothes, and all his body in living water, he shall be clean.
14On the eighth day he is to take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, come before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest.
14And on the eighth day he shall take two turtles, or two young pigeons, and he shall come before the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and shall give them to the priest:
15The priest is to sacrifice them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for the man before the LORD because of his discharge.
15Who shall offer one for sin, and the other for a holocaust: and he shall pray for him before the Lord, that he may be cleansed of the issue of his seed.
16When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
16The man from whom the seed of copulation goeth out, shall wash all his body with water: and he shall be unclean until the evening.
17Any clothing or leather on which there is an emission of semen must be washed with water, and it will remain unclean until evening.
17The garment or skin that he weareth, he shall wash with water, and it shall be unclean until the evening.
18If a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, both must bathe with water, and they will remain unclean until evening.
18The woman, with whom he copulateth, shall be washed with water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
19When a woman has a discharge consisting of blood from her body, she will be unclean due to her menstruation for seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening.
19The woman, who at the return of the month, hath her issue of blood, shall be separated seven days.
20Anything on which she lies or sits during her menstruation will be unclean,
20Every one that toucheth her, shall be unclean until the evening.
21and anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
21And every thing that she sleepeth on, or that she sitteth on in the days of her separation, shall be defiled.
22Whoever touches any furniture on which she was sitting must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
22He that toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes: and being himself washed with water, shall be unclean until the evening.
23And whether it is a bed or furniture on which she was sitting, whoever touches it will be unclean until evening.
23Whosoever shall touch any vessel on which she sitteth, shall wash his clothes: and himself being washed with water, shall be defiled until the evening.
24If a man lies with her and her menstrual flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days, and any bed on which he lies will become unclean.
24If a man copulateth with her in the time of her flowers, he shall be unclean seven days: and every bed on which he shall sleep shall be defiled.
25When a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days at a time other than her menstrual period, or if it continues beyond her period, she will be unclean all the days of her unclean discharge, just as she is during the days of her menstruation.
25The woman that hath an issue of blood many days out of her ordinary time, or that ceaseth not to flow after the monthly courses, as long as she is subject to this disease, shall be unclean, in the same manner as if she were in her flowers.
26Any bed on which she lies or any furniture on which she sits during the days of her discharge will be unclean, like her bed during her menstrual period.
26Every bed on which she sleepeth, and every vessel on which she sitteth, shall be defiled.
27Anyone who touches these things will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
27Whosoever toucheth them shall wash his clothes: and himself being washed with water, shall be unclean until the evening.
28When a woman is cleansed of her discharge, she must count off seven days, and after that she will be ceremonially clean.
28If the blood stop and cease to run, she shall count seven days of her purification:
29On the eighth day she is to take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
29And on the eighth day she shall offer for herself to the priest, two turtles, or two young pigeons, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony:
30The priest is to sacrifice one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for her before the LORD for her unclean discharge.
30And he shall offer one for sin, and the other for a holocaust, and he shall pray for her before the Lord, and for the issue of her uncleanness.
31You must keep the children of Israel separate from their uncleanness, so that they do not die by defiling My tabernacle, which is among them.
31You shall teach therefore the children of Israel to take heed of uncleanness, that they may not die in their filth, when they shall have defiled my tabernacle that is among them.
32This is the law of him who has a discharge, of the man who has an emission of semen whereby he is unclean,
32This is the law of him that hath the issue of seed, and that is defiled by copulation.
33of a woman in her menstrual period, of any male or female who has a discharge, and of a man who lies with an unclean woman.’”
33And of the woman that is separated in her monthly times, or that hath a continual issue of blood, and of the man that sleepeth with her.
