Leviticus 15:1-6

1 And the Lord spake to Moses and Aaron, saying,

2 Speak ye to the sons of Israel, and say ye to them, A man that suffereth the running out of seed, shall be unclean; (Say thou to the Israelites, When a man suffereth the running out of his seed, such an issue shall be unclean;)

3 and then he shall be deemed to be subject to this vice, when by all moments foul humour, either moisture, cleaveth to his flesh, and groweth (al)together (or runneth continually).

4 Each bed in which he sleepeth shall be unclean, and wherever he sitteth.

5 If any man toucheth his bed, he shall wash his clothes, and he shall be washed in water, and shall be unclean till to eventide.

6 If a man sitteth where he sat, also that man shall wash his clothes (that man shall wash his clothes), and he shall be washed in water, and shall be unclean till to eventide.
