Leviticus 15:1 In-Context

1 God spoke to Moses and Aaron,
2 "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them: When a man has a discharge from his genitals, the discharge is unclean.
3 Whether it comes from a seepage or an obstruction he is unclean. He is unclean all the days his body has a seepage or an obstruction.
4 "Every bed on which he lies is ritually unclean, everything on which he sits is unclean.
5 If someone touches his bed or sits on anything he's sat on, or touches the man with the discharge, he has to wash his clothes and bathe in water; he remains unclean until evening.
