Leviticus 15:1-9

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 "Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto 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 run with his issue or his flesh be stopped from running with his issue, it is his uncleanness.
4 Every bed whereon he lieth who hath the issue is unclean, and every thing whereon he sitteth shall be unclean.
5 And whosoever 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 whereon he sat who hath the issue shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
7 And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and is unclean until the evening.
8 And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean, then he shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
9 And what saddle soever he rideth upon who hath the issue shall be unclean.
