Cleansing Unhealthiness

1The LordH3068 also spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 and to AaronH175, sayingH559, 2“SpeakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and sayH559 to them, ‘1WhenH3588 anyH376 manH376 hasH1961 a dischargeH2100 from his 2bodyH1320, 3his dischargeH2101 is uncleanH2931. 3ThisH2088, moreover, shall be his uncleannessH2932 in his dischargeH2101: it is his uncleannessH2932 whether his bodyH1320 allows its dischargeH2101 to flowH7388 orH176 whether his bodyH1320 obstructsH2856 its dischargeH2101. 4EveryH3605 bedH4904 on whichH834 the manH2100 with the dischargeH2100 liesH7901 becomesH2930 uncleanH2930, and everythingH3605H3627 on whichH834 he sitsH3427 becomesH2930 uncleanH2930. 5AnyoneH376, moreover, whoH834 touchesH5060 his bedH4904 shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 in waterH4325 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153; 6and whoever sitsH3427 on the thingH3627 on whichH834 the manH2100 with the dischargeH2100 has been sittingH3427, shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 in waterH4325 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 7Also whoever touchesH5060 the 4manH1320 with the dischargeH2100 shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 in waterH4325 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 8Or ifH3588 the manH2100 with the dischargeH2100 spitsH7556 on one who is cleanH2889, he too shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 in waterH4325 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 9EveryH3605 saddleH4817 on whichH834 the manH2100 with the dischargeH2100 ridesH7392 becomesH2930 uncleanH2930. 10WhoeverH3605 then touchesH5060 anyH3605 of the things whichH834 were underH8478 him shall beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153, and the one who carriesH5375 them shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 in waterH4325 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 11Likewise, whomeverH3605H834 the manH2100 with the dischargeH2100 touchesH5060 withoutH3808 having rinsedH7857 his handsH3027 in waterH4325 shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 in waterH4325 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 12However, an 5earthenwareH2789 vesselH3627 whichH834 the manH2100 with the dischargeH2100 touchesH5060 shall be brokenH7665, and everyH3605 woodenH6086 vesselH3627 shall be rinsedH7857 in waterH4325.

13‘Now whenH3588 the manH2100 with the dischargeH2100 becomesH2891 cleansedH2891 from his dischargeH2101, then he 6shall countH5608 off for himself sevenH7651 daysH3117 for his cleansingH2893; he shall then washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 his bodyH1320 in 7runningH2416 waterH4325 and will becomeH2891 cleanH2891. 14Then on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 he shall takeH3947 for himself 8twoH8147 turtledovesH8449 orH176 twoH8147 youngH1121 dovesH3123, and comeH935 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 to the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150 and giveH5414 them to the priestH3548; 15and the priestH3548 shall offerH6213 them, 9oneH259 as a 10sinH2403 offeringH2403 and the otherH259 as a burntH5930 offeringH5930. So 11the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 onH5921 his behalfH5921 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 becauseH4480 of his dischargeH2101.

16‘12Now ifH3588 a 13manH376 hasH3318 a seminalH2233 emissionH3318H7902, he shall batheH7364 allH3605 his bodyH1320 in waterH4325 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 17As for anyH3605 garmentH899 or anyH3605 leatherH5785 on whichH834 there is a seminalH2233 emissionH7902, it shall be washedH3526 with waterH4325 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 18If a manH376 sleepsH7901 with a womanH802 so that there is a seminalH2233 emissionH7902, they shall both batheH7364 in waterH4325 and beH2930 14uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153.

19‘15WhenH3588 a womanH802 hasH1961 a dischargeH2100, if her dischargeH2101 in her bodyH1320 is bloodH1818, she shall continueH1961 in her menstrualH5079 impurityH5079 for sevenH7651 daysH3117; and whoeverH3605 touchesH5060 her shall beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 20EverythingH3605 also on whichH834 she liesH7901 during her menstrualH5079 impurityH5079 shall beH2930 uncleanH2930, and everythingH3605 on whichH834 she sitsH3427 shall beH2930 uncleanH2930. 21AnyoneH3605 who touchesH5060 her bedH4904 shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 in waterH4325 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 22WhoeverH3605 touchesH5060 anyH3605 objectH3627 on whichH834 she sitsH3427 shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 in waterH4325 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 23WhetherH518 it be on the bedH4904 orH176 on the thingH3627 on whichH834 she is sittingH3427, when he touchesH5060 it, he shall beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 2416IfH518 a manH376 actuallyH7901 sleepsH7901 with her so that her menstrualH5079 impurityH5079 is on him, he shall beH2930 uncleanH2930 sevenH7651 daysH3117, and everyH3605 bedH4904 on whichH834 he liesH7901 shall beH2930 uncleanH2930.

25‘17Now ifH3588 a womanH802 hasH2100 a dischargeH2101 of her bloodH1818 for manyH7227 daysH3117, not at the periodH6256 of her menstrualH5079 impurityH5079, orH176 ifH3588 she hasH2100 a dischargeH2100 beyondH5921 18that periodH5079, for allH3605 the daysH3117 of her impureH2932 dischargeH2101 she shall continueH1961 as though 19in her menstrualH5079 impurityH5079; she is uncleanH2931. 26AnyH3605 bedH4904 on whichH834 she liesH7901 allH3605 the daysH3117 of her dischargeH2101 shall be to her like 20her bedH4904 at menstruationH5079; and everyH3605 objectH3627 on whichH834 she sitsH3427 shall be uncleanH2931, like 21her uncleannessH2932 at that timeH5079. 27Likewise, whoeverH3605 touchesH5060 them shall beH2930 uncleanH2930, and shall washH3526 his clothesH899 and batheH7364 in waterH4325 and beH2930 uncleanH2930 untilH5704 eveningH6153. 28WhenH518 she becomesH2891 cleanH2891 from her dischargeH2101, she shall countH5608 off for herself sevenH7651 daysH3117; and afterwardH310 she will beH2891 cleanH2891. 29Then on the eighthH8066 dayH3117 she shall takeH3947 for herself twoH8147 turtledovesH8449 orH176 twoH8147 youngH1121 dovesH3123, and bringH935 them to the priestH3548, to the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 30And the priestH3548 shall offerH6213 the 22oneH259 as a 23sinH2403 offeringH2403, and the otherH259 as a burntH5930 offeringH5930. So the priestH3548 shall makeH3722 atonementH3722 onH5921 her behalfH5921 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 becauseH4480 of her impureH2932 dischargeH2101.’

31“And so you shall keepH5144 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 separatedH5144 from their uncleannessH2932, so that they will not dieH4191 in their uncleannessH2932 by their 24defilingH2930 My 25tabernacleH4908 that is amongH8432 them.” 32ThisH2088 is the lawH8451 for the one with a dischargeH2100, and for the man 26whoH834 hasH3318 a seminalH2233 emissionH3318H7902 so that he isH2930 uncleanH2930 by it, 33and for the womanH1739 who is illH1739 because of menstrualH5079 impurityH5079, and for the one who hasH2100 a dischargeH2101, whether a maleH2145 or a femaleH5347, or a manH376 whoH834 sleepsH7901 with an uncleanH2931 womanH2931.
