1And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying:
2“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.
2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When any man hath an issue out of his flesh, his issue is unclean.
3This 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.
3And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness.
4“‘Every bed on which he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean; and everything he sits on shall be unclean.
4Every bed whereon he that hath the issue lieth shall be unclean; and every thing whereon he sitteth shall be unclean.
5Whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
5And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
6He who sits on anything on which the man who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

7“‘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.
7And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
