Leviticus 15:5-27

5And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

6He who sits on anything on which he who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

7And he who touches the body of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

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

9Any saddle on which he who has the discharge rides shall be unclean.

10Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until evening. He who carries any of those things shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

11And whomever the one who has the discharge touches, and has not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

12The vessel of earth that he who has the discharge touches shall be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

13‘And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes, and bathe his body in running water; then he shall be clean.

14On the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and give them to the priest.

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

16‘If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall wash all his body in water, and be unclean until evening.

17And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, it shall be washed with water, and be unclean until evening.

18Also, when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they shall bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

19‘If a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood, she shall be set apart seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.

20Everything that she lies on during her impurity shall be unclean; also everything that she sits on shall be unclean.

21Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

22And whoever touches anything that she sat on shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

23If anything is on her bed or on anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until evening.

24And if any man lies with her at all, so that her impurity is on him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.

25‘If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days, other than at the time of her customary impurity, or if it runs beyond her usual time of impurity, all the days of her unclean discharge shall be as the days of her customary impurity. She shall be unclean.

26Every bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her impurity; and whatever she sits on shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity.

27Whoever touches those things shall be unclean; he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
