Leviticus 15:2-15
2“Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, ‘1When any man has a discharge from his 2body, 3his discharge is unclean. 3This, moreover, shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: it is his uncleanness whether his body allows its discharge to flow or whether his body obstructs its discharge. 4Every bed on which the man with the discharge lies becomes unclean, and everything on which he sits becomes unclean. 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 4man 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 man with the discharge rides becomes unclean. 10Whoever then touches any of the things which were under him shall be unclean until evening, and the one who carries them shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening. 11Likewise, whomever the man 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 5earthenware vessel which the man 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 6shall count off for himself seven days for his cleansing; he shall then wash his clothes and bathe his body in 7running water and will become clean. 14Then on the eighth day he shall take for himself 8two turtledoves or two young doves, 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, 9one as a 10sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. So 11the priest shall make atonement on his behalf before the Lord because of his discharge.
