Leviticus 15:14-24

14 Forsooth in the eighth day he shall take two turtles, or two culver birds, and he shall come in the sight of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of witnessing, and shall give those to the priest; (Then on the eighth day, he shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and he shall come before the Lord at the entrance to the Tabernacle of the Witnessing, and shall give them to the priest;)

15 and the priest shall make, or offer, one of them for the man's sin, and the tother into burnt sacrifice (and the priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt sacrifice); and the priest shall pray for him before the Lord, that he be cleansed from the flowing out of his seed.

16 A man from whom the seed of lechery, either of fleshly coupling, goeth out, shall wash in water all his body (shall wash all his body in water), and he shall be unclean till to eventide.

17 He shall wash in water the cloak and (the) skin, or (the) pilch, that he hath used, (or worn, at) that time, and it shall be unclean till to eventide.

18 The woman with which he is coupled fleshly (The woman with whom he is fleshly coupled), shall be washed in water, and shall be unclean till to eventide.

19 A woman that suffereth the flowing out of blood, when the month cometh again, she shall be separated by seven days (she shall be set apart for seven days); each man that toucheth her shall be unclean till to eventide,

20 and the place in which she sleepeth either sitteth in the days of her separating, shall be defouled, (or unclean).

21 He that toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and he shall be washed in water, and shall be unclean till to eventide.

22 Whoever toucheth any vessel, or thing, upon which she sitteth, he shall wash his clothes, and he shall be washed in water, and shall be unclean till to eventide.

23 (See verse 22 above.)

24 If a man is coupled fleshly with her in the time of blood that cometh, or runneth, from her by (the) months, he shall be unclean by seven days, and each bed in which he sleepeth shall be unclean. (If a man is fleshly coupled with her at the time of blood that runneth out from her by the month, he shall be unclean for seven days, and each bed in which he sleepeth shall be unclean.)
