Leviticus 15:2-13

2“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. “Any man who has a bodily discharge is ceremonially unclean.

3This defilement is caused by his discharge, whether the discharge continues or stops. In either case the man is unclean.

4Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies and anything on which he sits will be ceremonially unclean.

5So if you touch the man’s bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

6If you sit where the man with the discharge has sat, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

7If you touch the man with the discharge, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

8If the man spits on you, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

9Any saddle blanket on which the man rides will be ceremonially unclean.

10If you touch anything that was under the man, you will be unclean until evening. You must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

11If the man touches you without first rinsing his hands, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

12Any clay pot the man touches must be broken, and any wooden utensil he touches must be rinsed with water.

13“When the man with the discharge is healed, he must count off seven days for the period of purification. Then he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in fresh water, and he will be ceremonially clean.
