О телесной нечистоте

15 Господь сказал Моисею и Аарону:

– Говорите с израильтянами, скажите им: «Если у мужчины будут выделения из тела его, то это сделает его нечистым. Продолжаются ли выделения или перестают – все равно он уже осквернен.

Любая постель, на которую он ляжет, будет нечиста. Все, на что он сядет, будет нечисто. Любой, кто прикоснется к его постели, пусть выстирает одежду и вымоется сам, он будет нечист до вечера. Любой, кто сядет там, где сидел зараженный, пусть выстирает одежду и вымоется сам, он будет нечист до вечера.

Любой, кто прикоснется к нему, пусть выстирает одежду и вымоется сам, он будет нечист до вечера.

Если человек, у которого выделения, плюнет на того, кто чист, пусть тот выстирает одежду и вымоется сам, он будет нечист до вечера.

Любое седло, на котором будет скакать тот, у кого выделения, станет нечисто. 10 Любой, кто прикоснется к вещам, которые были под ним, станет нечист до вечера; тот, кто будет нести их, пусть выстирает одежду и вымоется сам, он будет нечист до вечера.

11 Любой, кого, не вымыв рук, коснется человек, у которого выделения, пусть выстирает одежду и вымоется сам, он будет нечист до вечера.

12 Глиняный горшок, которого коснется человек с выделениями, нужно разбить, а деревянный предмет нужно вымыть.

13 Когда мужчина очищается от выделений, пусть он отсчитает для очищения семь дней. Пусть он выстирает одежду и вымоется проточной водой, тогда он будет чист. 14 На восьмой день пусть он возьмет двух горлиц или двух молодых голубей, явится ко входу перед Господом в шатер собрания и отдаст их священнику. 15 Священник принесет их в жертву, одного за грех, а другого во всесожжение. Так он совершит перед Господом отпущение для человека, оскверненного выделениями.

16 Если у мужчины будет излияние семени, пусть он вымоет все тело, он будет нечист до вечера. 17 Все из ткани или кожи, куда попало семя, нужно выстирать, и вещь будет нечиста до вечера. 18 Если мужчина ляжет с женщиной и у него будет излияние семени, пусть оба вымоются, они будут нечисты до вечера.

19 Когда у женщины бывает обычное кровотечение, она нечиста семь дней, и всякий, кто коснется ее, станет нечист до вечера.

20 Все, на что она ляжет или сядет во время месячных, станет нечисто. 21 Любой, кто прикоснется к ее постели, пусть выстирает одежду и вымоется сам, и будет нечист до вечера. 22 Любой, кто прикоснется к тому, на чем она сидела, пусть выстирает одежду и вымоется сам, он будет нечист до вечера. 23 Если кто-нибудь прикоснется к тому, на чем она сидела – постель ли это или просто сидение, он станет нечист до вечера.

24 Если с ней ляжет мужчина, ее истечение осквернит и его. Он будет нечист семь дней. Любая постель, на которую он ляжет, станет нечиста.

25 Если кровь у женщины будет выделяться много дней не во время месячных или после того, как месячные закончатся, она будет нечиста все время, пока у нее идет кровотечение, как при месячных. 26 Любая постель, на которую она ляжет во время этого кровотечения, станет нечиста, подобно ее постели во время месячных, и все, на что она сядет, станет нечисто, как во время ее месячных. 27 Коснувшийся постели или сидения, на которых она сидела станет нечист; пусть он выстирает одежду и вымоется сам, он будет нечист до вечера.

28 Когда женщина очищается от кровотечения, пусть она отсчитает семь дней, и после этого будет чиста. 29 На восьмой день пусть она возьмет двух горлиц или двух молодых голубей и принесет их священнику ко входу в шатер собрания. 30 Священник принесет одного в жертву за грех, а другого – во всесожжение. Так он совершит для нее отпущение перед Господом за нечистоту ее кровотечения.

31 Храните израильтян от того, что их оскверняет, чтобы им не умереть в их нечистоте за осквернение Моего жилища, которое среди них».

32 Таковы правила для мужчины, у которого выделения, для всех, кто стал нечист от излияния семени, 33 для женщины во время месячных, для мужчины или женщины, у которых выделения, и для мужчины, который ляжет с нечистой женщиной.

15 And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,

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.

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

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

And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

And he that sitteth on any thing whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

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 even.

And what saddle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean.

10 And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

11 And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

12 And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

13 And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.

14 And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest:

15 And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord for his issue.

16 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even.

17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even.

18 The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even.

19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.

20 And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.

21 And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

22 And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

23 And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.

24 And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.

25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.

26 Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.

27 And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.

28 But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.

29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the Lord for the issue of her uncleanness.

31 Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.

32 This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;

33 And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.

The Law Concerning Bodily Discharges

15 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: (A)‘When any man has a discharge from his body, his discharge is unclean. And this shall be his uncleanness in regard to his discharge—whether his body runs with his discharge, or his body is stopped up by his discharge, it is his uncleanness. Every bed is [a]unclean on which he who has the discharge lies, and everything on which he sits shall be unclean. And whoever (B)touches his bed shall (C)wash his clothes and (D)bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. He who sits on anything on which he who has the (E)discharge sat shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. And he who touches the body of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. If he who has the discharge (F)spits on him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. Any saddle on which he who has the discharge rides shall be unclean. 10 Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until evening. He who carries any of those things shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 11 And whomever the one who has the discharge touches, and has not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 12 The (G)vessel of earth that he who has the discharge touches shall be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

13 ‘And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then (H)he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes, and bathe his body in running water; then he shall be clean. 14 On the eighth day he shall take for himself (I)two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and give them to the priest. 15 Then the priest shall offer them, (J)the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. (K)So the priest shall make [b]atonement for him before the Lord because of his discharge.

16 (L)‘If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall wash all his body in water, and be unclean until evening. 17 And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, it shall be washed with water, and be unclean until evening. 18 Also, when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they shall bathe in water, and (M)be unclean until evening.

19 (N)‘If a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood, she shall be [c]set apart seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening. 20 Everything that she lies on during her impurity shall be unclean; also everything that she sits on shall be unclean. 21 Whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 22 And whoever touches anything that she sat on shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 23 If anything is on her bed or on anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until evening. 24 And (O)if any man lies with her at all, so that her impurity is on him, he shall be [d]unclean seven days; and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.

25 ‘If (P)a woman has a discharge of blood for many days, other than at the time of her customary impurity, or if it runs beyond her usual time of impurity, all the days of her unclean discharge shall be as the days of her customary impurity. She shall be unclean. 26 Every bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her impurity; and whatever she sits on shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity. 27 Whoever touches those things shall be unclean; he shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.

28 ‘But (Q)if she is cleansed of her discharge, then she shall count for herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 29 And on the eighth day she shall take for herself two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 30 Then the priest shall offer the one as a sin offering and the other as a (R)burnt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for her before the Lord for the discharge of her uncleanness.

31 ‘Thus you shall (S)separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, lest they die in their uncleanness when they (T)defile My tabernacle that is among them. 32 (U)This is the law for one who has a discharge, (V)and for him who emits semen and is unclean thereby, 33 (W)and for her who is indisposed because of her customary impurity, and for one who has a discharge, either man (X)or woman, (Y)and for him who lies with her who is unclean.’ ”
