1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2
Speak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, Any man when his
seed issues forth out of his flesh, he
shall be unclean.
3
And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh drips because of his issue or his flesh is stopped because of his issue, he shall be unclean.
4
Every bed on which the one that has the issue lies shall be unclean; and everything upon which he sits shall be unclean.
5
And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe
himself in water and be unclean until the evening.
6
And he that sits on
any thing upon which the one that has the issue sat shall wash his clothes and bathe
himself in water and be unclean until the evening.
7
Likewise he that touches the flesh of the one that has the issue shall wash his clothes and bathe
himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
8
And if the one that has the issue spits upon him that is clean, then he shall wash his clothes and bathe
himself in water and be unclean until the evening.
9
And any saddle that he that has the issue rides upon shall be unclean.
10
And whoever touches any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the evening, and he that bears
any of those things shall wash his clothes and bathe
himself in water and be unclean until the evening.
11
And whoever the one that has the issue touches and has not washed his hands with water, he shall wash his clothes and bathe
himself in water and be unclean until the evening.
12
And the vessel of earth that the one that has the issue touches shall be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be washed with water.
13
And when the one that has an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days from his purification and wash his clothes and bathe his flesh in living water, and he shall be clean.
14
And on the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of the testimony and give them unto the priest;
15
and the priest shall offer the one as sin and the other as a burnt offering; and the priest shall reconcile him from his issue before the LORD.
16
And the man, when his seed shall go forth from him, then shall wash all his flesh in water and be unclean until the evening.
17
And every garment and every skin upon which the seed
of a man has come shall be washed with water and be unclean until the evening.
18
The woman also with whom the man shall have
sexual contact
with seed, they shall
both bathe
themselves in water and be unclean until the evening.
