Leviticus 15:2-15

2“Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When any man has a bodily discharge, his discharge is unclean.

3This shall be [the law concerning] his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his body allows its discharge to flow or obstructs its flow; it is uncleanness in him.

4Every bed on which the one who has the discharge lies becomes unclean, and everything on which he sits becomes unclean.

5Whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening;

6and whoever sits on anything on which the man with the discharge has been sitting shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

7Also whoever touches the man with the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

8And if he who has the discharge spits on one who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

9Any saddle on which the man with the discharge rides becomes unclean.

10Whoever touches anything that has been under him shall be unclean until evening; and whoever carries those things shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

11Whomever the one with the discharge touches without rinsing his hands in water shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

12An earthenware container that the one with the discharge touches shall be broken, and every wooden container shall be rinsed in water.

13‘When the man with the discharge becomes cleansed from his discharge, he shall count off seven days for his purification; he shall then wash his clothes and bathe his body in running water and will become clean.

14On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and come before the Lord to the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest;

15and the priest shall offer them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. So the priest shall make atonement for the man before the Lord because of his discharge.
