Leviticus 15:5-27

5Anyone, moreover, who touches his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening; 6and whoever sits on the thing 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 1person with the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening. 8Or if the man with the discharge spits on one who is clean, he too shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening. 9Every saddle on which the person with the discharge rides becomes unclean. 10Whoever then touches any of the things which were under him shall be unclean until evening, and he who carries them shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening. 11Likewise, whomever the one with the discharge touches without having rinsed his hands in water shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening. 12However, an 2earthenware vessel which the person with the discharge touches shall be broken, and every wooden vessel shall be rinsed in water.

13‘Now when the man with the discharge becomes cleansed from his discharge, then he 3shall count off for himself seven days for his cleansing; he shall then wash his clothes and bathe his body in 4running water and will become clean. 14Then on the eighth day he shall take for himself 5two 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, 6one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. So 7the priest shall make atonement on his behalf before the Lord because of his discharge.

16‘8Now if a 9man has a seminal emission, he shall bathe all his body in water and be unclean until evening. 17As for any garment or any leather on which there is seminal emission, it shall be washed with water and be unclean until evening. 18If a man lies with a woman so that there is a seminal emission, they shall both bathe in water and be 10unclean until evening.

19‘11When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. 20Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean. 21Anyone who touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening. 22Whoever touches any thing on which she sits shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening. 23Whether it be on the bed or on the thing on which she is sitting, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until evening. 2412If a man actually lies with her so that her menstrual impurity is on him, he shall be unclean seven days, and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.

25‘13Now if a woman has a discharge of her blood many days, not at the period of her menstrual impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond 14that period, all the days of her impure discharge she shall continue as though 15in her menstrual impurity; she is unclean. 26Any bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her like 16her bed at menstruation; and every thing on which she sits shall be unclean, like 17her uncleanness at that time. 27Likewise, whoever touches them shall be unclean and shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.
