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.

15 Und der HERR redete mit Mose und Aaron und sprach:

Redet mit den Kindern Israel und sprecht zu ihnen: Wenn ein Mann an seinem Fleisch einen Fluß hat, derselbe ist unrein.

Dann aber ist er unrein an diesem Fluß, wenn sein Fleisch eitert oder verstopft ist.

Alles Lager, darauf er liegt, und alles, darauf er sitzt, wird unrein werden.

Und wer sein Lager anrührt, der soll seine Kleider waschen und sich mit Wasser baden und unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

Und wer sich setzt, wo er gesessen hat, der soll seine Kleider waschen und sich mit Wasser baden und unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

Wer sein Fleisch anrührt, der soll seine Kleider waschen und sich mit Wasser baden und unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

Wenn er seinen Speichel wirft auf den, der rein ist, der soll seine Kleider waschen und sich mit Wasser baden und unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

Und der Sattel, darauf er reitet, wird unrein werden.

10 Und wer anrührt irgend etwas, das er unter sich gehabt hat, der wird unrein sein bis auf den Abend. Und wer solches trägt, der soll seine Kleider waschen und sich mit Wasser baden und unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

11 Und welchen er anrührt, ehe er die Hände wäscht, der soll seine Kleider waschen und sich mit Wasser baden und unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

12 Wenn er ein irdenes Gefäß anrührt, das soll man zerbrechen; aber das hölzerne Gefäß soll man mit Wasser spülen.

13 Und wenn er rein wird von seinem Fluß, so soll er sieben Tage zählen, nachdem er rein geworden ist, und seine Kleider waschen und sein Fleisch mit fließendem Wasser baden, so ist er rein.

14 Und am achten Tage soll er zwei Turteltauben oder zwei junge Tauben nehmen und vor den HERRN bringen vor die Tür der Hütte des Stifts und dem Priester geben.

15 Und der Priester soll aus einer ein Sündopfer, aus der andern ein Brandopfer machen und ihn versöhnen vor dem HERRN seines Flusses halben.

16 Wenn einem Mann im Schlaf der Same entgeht, der soll sein ganzes Fleisch mit Wasser baden und unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

17 Und alles Kleid und alles Fell, das mit solchem Samen befleckt ist, soll er waschen mit Wasser und unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

18 Ein Weib, bei welchem ein solcher liegt, die soll sich mit Wasser baden und unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

19 Wenn ein Weib ihres Leibes Blutfluß hat, die soll sieben Tage unrein geachtet werden; wer sie anrührt, der wird unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

20 Und alles, worauf sie liegt, solange sie ihre Zeit hat, und worauf sie sitzt, wird unrein sein.

21 Und wer ihr Lager anrührt, der soll seine Kleider waschen und sich mit Wasser baden und unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

22 Und wer anrührt irgend etwas, darauf sie gesessen hat, soll seine Kleider waschen und sich mit Wasser baden und unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

23 Und wer anrührt irgend etwas, das auf ihrem Lager gewesen ist oder da, wo sie gesessen hat soll unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

24 Und wenn ein Mann bei ihr liegt und es kommt sie ihre Zeit an bei ihm, der wird sieben Tage unrein sein, und das Lager, auf dem er gelegen hat wird unrein sein.

25 Wenn aber ein Weib den Blutfluß eine lange Zeit hat, zu ungewöhnlicher Zeit oder über die gewöhnliche Zeit, so wird sie unrein sein, solange sie ihn hat; wie zu ihrer gewöhnlichen Zeit, so soll sie auch da unrein sein.

26 Alles Lager, darauf sie liegt die ganze Zeit ihres Flußes, soll sein wie ihr Lager zu ihrer gewöhnlichen Zeit. Und alles, worauf sie sitzt, wird unrein sein gleich der Unreinigkeit ihrer gewöhnlichen Zeit.

27 Wer deren etwas anrührt, der wird unrein sein und soll seine Kleider waschen und sich mit Wasser baden und unrein sein bis auf den Abend.

28 Wird sie aber rein von ihrem Fluß, so soll sie sieben Tage zählen; darnach soll sie rein sein.

29 Und am achten Tage soll sie zwei Turteltauben oder zwei junge Tauben nehmen und zum Priester bringen vor die Tür der Hütte des Stifts.

30 Und der Priester soll aus einer machen ein Sündopfer, aus der andern ein Brandopfer, und sie versöhnen vor dem HERRN über den Fluß ihrer Unreinigkeit.

31 So sollt ihr die Kinder Israel warnen vor ihrer Unreinigkeit, daß sie nicht sterben in ihrer Unreinigkeit, wenn sie meine Wohnung verunreinigen, die unter ihnen ist.

32 Das ist das Gesetz über den, der einen Fluß hat und dem der Same im Schlaf entgeht, daß er unrein davon wird,

33 und über die, die ihren Blutfluß hat, und wer einen Fluß hat, es sei Mann oder Weib, und wenn ein Mann bei einer Unreinen liegt.

Discharges Causing Uncleanness

15 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When any man has an unusual bodily discharge,(A) such a discharge is unclean. Whether it continues flowing from his body or is blocked, it will make him unclean. This is how his discharge will bring about uncleanness:

“‘Any bed the man with a discharge lies on will be unclean, and anything he sits on will be unclean. Anyone who touches his bed must wash their clothes(B) and bathe with water,(C) and they will be unclean till evening.(D) Whoever sits on anything that the man with a discharge sat on must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

“‘Whoever touches the man(E) who has a discharge(F) must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

“‘If the man with the discharge spits(G) on anyone who is clean, they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

“‘Everything the man sits on when riding will be unclean, 10 and whoever touches any of the things that were under him will be unclean till evening; whoever picks up those things(H) must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

11 “‘Anyone the man with a discharge touches without rinsing his hands with water must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

12 “‘A clay pot(I) that the man touches must be broken, and any wooden article(J) is to be rinsed with water.

13 “‘When a man is cleansed from his discharge, he is to count off seven days(K) for his ceremonial cleansing; he must wash his clothes and bathe himself with fresh water, and he will be clean.(L) 14 On the eighth day he must take two doves or two young pigeons(M) and come before the Lord to the entrance to the tent of meeting and give them to the priest. 15 The priest is to sacrifice them, the one for a sin offering[a](N) and the other for a burnt offering.(O) In this way he will make atonement before the Lord for the man because of his discharge.(P)

16 “‘When a man has an emission of semen,(Q) he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean till evening.(R) 17 Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed with water, and it will be unclean till evening. 18 When a man has sexual relations with a woman and there is an emission of semen,(S) both of them must bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

19 “‘When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period(T) will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening.

20 “‘Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean. 21 Anyone who touches her bed will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.(U) 22 Anyone who touches anything she sits on will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening. 23 Whether it is the bed or anything she was sitting on, when anyone touches it, they will be unclean till evening.

24 “‘If a man has sexual relations with her and her monthly flow(V) touches him, he will be unclean for seven days; any bed he lies on will be unclean.

25 “‘When a woman has a discharge of blood for many days at a time other than her monthly period(W) or has a discharge that continues beyond her period, she will be unclean as long as she has the discharge, just as in the days of her period. 26 Any bed she lies on while her discharge continues will be unclean, as is her bed during her monthly period, and anything she sits on will be unclean, as during her period. 27 Anyone who touches them will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

28 “‘When she is cleansed from her discharge, she must count off seven days, and after that she will be ceremonially clean. 29 On the eighth day she must take two doves or two young pigeons(X) and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 30 The priest is to sacrifice one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way he will make atonement for her before the Lord for the uncleanness of her discharge.(Y)

31 “‘You must keep the Israelites separate from things that make them unclean, so they will not die in their uncleanness for defiling my dwelling place,[b](Z) which is among them.’”

32 These are the regulations for a man with a discharge, for anyone made unclean by an emission of semen,(AA) 33 for a woman in her monthly period, for a man or a woman with a discharge, and for a man who has sexual relations with a woman who is ceremonially unclean.(AB)
