2“SayH1696 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, ‘WhenH3588 anyH376 manH376 hasH1961 a bodilyH1320 dischargeH2100, the dischargeH2101 is uncleanH2931. 3ThisH2063 uncleannessH2932 isH1961 from his dischargeH2101, whether his bodyH1320 allowsH7325 the discharge to flowH2101 orH176 blocks itH2856. So his dischargeH2101 will bring aboutH1931 uncleannessH2932.

4AnyH3605 bedH4904 onH5921 whichH834 the man with the dischargeH2100 liesH7901 will be uncleanH2930, and anyH3605 furnitureH3627 onH5921 whichH834 he sitsH3427 will be uncleanH2930. 5AnyoneH376 whoH834 touchesH5060 his bedH4904 must washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 with waterH4325, and he will be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 6Whoever sitsH3427 onH5921 furnitureH3627 onH5921 whichH834 the man with the dischargeH2100 was sittingH3427 must washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 with waterH4325, and he will be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153.

7Whoever touchesH5060 the bodyH1320 of the man with a dischargeH2100 must washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 with waterH4325, and he will be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 8IfH3588 the man with the dischargeH2100 spitsH7556 on one who is cleanH2889, that person must washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 with waterH4325, and he will be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153.

9AnyH3605 saddleH4817 onH5921 whichH834 the man with the dischargeH2100 ridesH7392 will be uncleanH2930. 10WhoeverH3605 touchesH5060 anythingH3605 thatH834 wasH1961 under himH8478 will be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153, and whoever carriesH5375 such thingsH853 must washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 with waterH4325, and he will be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153.

11If the man with the dischargeH2100 touchesH5060 anyoneH3605 withoutH3808 first rinsingH7857 his handsH3027 with waterH4325, the one who was touched must washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 with waterH4325, and he will be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 12Any clayH2789 potH3627 thatH834 the man with the dischargeH2100 touchesH5060 must be brokenH7665, and anyH3605 woodenH6086 utensilH3627 must be rinsedH7857 with waterH4325.

13WhenH3588 the manH2100 has been cleansedH2891 from his dischargeH2101, he must count offH5608 sevenH7651 daysH3117 for his cleansingH2893, washH3526 his clothesH899, and batheH7364 himselfH1320 in freshH2416 waterH4325,1 and he shall be cleanH2891. 14On the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he is to takeH3947 twoH8147 turtledovesH8449 orH176 twoH8147 youngH1121 pigeonsH3123, comeH935 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 atH413 the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150, and give themH5414 toH413 the priestH3548. 15The priestH3548 is to sacrificeH6213 themH853, oneH259 as a sin offeringH2403 and the otherH259 as a burnt offeringH5930. In this way the priestH3548 will make atonementH3722 forH5921 the man beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 because of his dischargeH2101.

16WhenH3588H3318H4480 a manH376 has an emissionH7902 of semenH2233, he must batheH7364 his wholeH3605 bodyH1320 with waterH4325, and he will be uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 17AnyH3605 clothingH899H3605 or leatherH5785 onH5921 whichH834 there isH1961 an emissionH7902 of semenH2233 must be washedH3526 with waterH4325, and it will remain uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 18If a manH376H854 lies withH7901 a womanH802 and there is an emissionH7902 of semenH2233, both must batheH7364 with waterH4325, and they will remain uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153.
