Leviticus 15:1-6

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, [because of] his issue he [is] unclean.

3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh shall run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it [is] his uncleanness.

4 Every bed on which he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing on which he sitteth, shall be unclean.

5 And whoever toucheth his bed, shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the evening.

6 And he that sitteth on [any] thing on which he sat that hath the issue, shall wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the evening.
