Leviticus 15:1-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

15 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

² Say to the Israelites, When any man has a running discharge from his body, because of his discharge he is unclean.

³ This shall be [the law concerning] his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his body runs with his discharge or has stopped [running], it is uncleanness in him.

⁴ Every bed on which the one who has the discharge lies is unclean, and everything on which he sits shall be unclean.

⁵ Whoever touches that person’s bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

⁶ And whoever sits on anything on which he who has the discharge has sat shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

⁷ And he who touches the flesh of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

⁸ And if he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

⁹ And any saddle on which he who has the discharge rides shall be unclean.

¹⁰ Whoever touches anything that has been under him shall be unclean until evening; and he who carries those things shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.

¹¹ Whomever he who has the discharge touches without rinsing his hands in water shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.

¹² The earthen vessel that he with the discharge touches shall be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

¹³ When he who has a discharge is cleansed of it, he shall count seven days for his purification, then wash his clothes, bathe in running water, and be clean.

¹⁴ On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and come before the Lord to the door of the Tent of Meeting and give them to the priest;

¹⁵ And the priest shall offer them, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering; and [he] shall make atonement for the man before the Lord for his discharge.

¹⁶ And if any man has a discharge of semen, he shall wash all his body in water, and be unclean until evening.

¹⁷ And every garment and every skin on which the sperm comes shall be washed with water, and be unclean until evening.

¹⁸ The woman also with whom a man with emission of semen shall lie, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until evening.
