Discharges Causing Uncleanness
15 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When any man has an unusual bodily discharge,(A) such a discharge is unclean. 3 Whether it continues flowing from his body or is blocked, it will make him unclean. This is how his discharge will bring about uncleanness:
4 “‘Any bed the man with a discharge lies on will be unclean, and anything he sits on will be unclean. 5 Anyone who touches his bed must wash their clothes(B) and bathe with water,(C) and they will be unclean till evening.(D) 6 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.
7 “‘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.
8 “‘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.
9 “‘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)

Le impurità sessuali
A. dell'uomo
15 Il Signore disse ancora a Mosè e ad Aronne: 2 «Parlate agli Israeliti e riferite loro: Se un uomo soffre di gonorrea nella sua carne, la sua gonorrea è immonda. 3 Questa è la condizione d'immondezza per la gonorrea: sia che la carne lasci uscire il liquido, sia che lo trattenga, si tratta d'immondezza. 4 Ogni giaciglio sul quale si coricherà chi è affetto da gonorrea, sarà immondo; ogni oggetto sul quale si siederà sarà immondo. 5 Chi toccherà il giaciglio di costui, dovrà lavarsi le vesti e bagnarsi nell'acqua e sarà immondo fino alla sera. 6 Chi si siederà sopra un oggetto qualunque, sul quale si sia seduto colui che soffre di gonorrea, dovrà lavarsi le vesti, bagnarsi nell'acqua e sarà immondo fino alla sera. 7 Chi toccherà il corpo di colui che è affetto da gonorrea si laverà le vesti, si bagnerà nell'acqua e sarà immondo fino alla sera. 8 Se colui che ha la gonorrea sputerà sopra uno che è mondo, questi dovrà lavarsi le vesti, bagnarsi nell'acqua e sarà immondo fino alla sera. 9 Ogni sella su cui monterà chi ha la gonorrea sarà immonda. 10 Chiunque toccherà cosa, che sia stata sotto quel tale, sarà immondo fino alla sera. Chi porterà tali oggetti dovrà lavarsi le vesti, bagnarsi nell'acqua e sarà immondo fino alla sera. 11 Chiunque sarà toccato da colui che ha la gonorrea, se questi non si era lavato le mani, dovrà lavarsi le vesti, bagnarsi nell'acqua e sarà immondo fino alla sera. 12 Il vaso di terracotta toccato da colui che soffre di gonorrea sarà spezzato; ogni vaso di legno sarà lavato nell'acqua.
13 Quando chi è affetto da gonorrea sarà guarito dal male, conterà sette giorni dalla sua guarigione; poi si laverà le vesti, bagnerà il suo corpo nell'acqua viva e sarà mondo. 14 L'ottavo giorno, prenderà due tortore o due colombi, verrà davanti al Signore, all'ingresso della tenda del convegno, e li darà al sacerdote, 15 il quale ne offrirà uno come sacrificio espiatorio, l'altro come olocausto; il sacerdote compirà per lui il rito espiatorio davanti al Signore per la sua gonorrea.
16 L'uomo che avrà avuto un'emissione seminale, si laverà tutto il corpo nell'acqua e sarà immondo fino alla sera. 17 Ogni veste o pelle, su cui vi sarà un'emissione seminale, dovrà essere lavata nell'acqua e sarà immonda fino alla sera.
18 La donna e l'uomo che abbiano avuto un rapporto con emissione seminale si laveranno nell'acqua e saranno immondi fino alla sera.
B. della donna
19 Quando una donna abbia flusso di sangue, cioè il flusso nel suo corpo, la sua immondezza durerà sette giorni; chiunque la toccherà sarà immondo fino alla sera. 20 Ogni giaciglio sul quale si sarà messa a dormire durante la sua immondezza sarà immondo; ogni mobile sul quale si sarà seduta sarà immondo. 21 Chiunque toccherà il suo giaciglio, dovrà lavarsi le vesti, bagnarsi nell'acqua e sarà immondo fino alla sera. 22 Chi toccherà qualunque mobile sul quale essa si sarà seduta, dovrà lavarsi le vesti, bagnarsi nell'acqua e sarà immondo fino alla sera. 23 Se l'uomo si trova sul giaciglio o sul mobile mentre essa vi siede, per tale contatto sarà immondo fino alla sera. 24 Se un uomo ha rapporto intimo con essa, l'immondezza di lei lo contamina: egli sarà immondo per sette giorni e ogni giaciglio sul quale si coricherà sarà immondo.
25 La donna che ha un flusso di sangue per molti giorni, fuori del tempo delle regole, o che lo abbia più del normale sarà immonda per tutto il tempo del flusso, secondo le norme dell'immondezza mestruale. 26 Ogni giaciglio sul quale si coricherà durante tutto il tempo del flusso sarà per lei come il giaciglio sul quale si corica quando ha le regole; ogni mobile sul quale siederà sarà immondo, come lo è quando essa ha le regole. 27 Chiunque toccherà quelle cose sarà immondo; dovrà lavarsi le vesti, bagnarsi nell'acqua e sarà immondo fino alla sera. 28 Quando essa sia guarita dal flusso, conterà sette giorni e poi sarà monda. 29 L'ottavo giorno prenderà due tortore o due colombi e li porterà al sacerdote all'ingresso della tenda del convegno. 30 Il sacerdote ne offrirà uno come sacrificio espiatorio e l'altro come olocausto e farà per lei il rito espiatorio, davanti al Signore, per il flusso che la rendeva immonda.
Conclusione
31 Avvertite gli Israeliti di ciò che potrebbe renderli immondi, perché non muoiano per la loro immondezza, quando contaminassero la mia Dimora che è in mezzo a loro.
32 Questa è la legge per colui che ha la gonorrea o un'emissione seminale che lo rende immondo 33 e la legge per colei che è indisposta a causa delle regole, cioè per l'uomo o per la donna che abbia il flusso e per l'uomo che abbia rapporti intimi con una donna in stato d'immondezza».

King James Version
15 And the Lord spake 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 his issue, it is his uncleanness.
4 Every bed, whereon he lieth that 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 even.
6 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.
7 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.
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 even.
9 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, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: (A)‘When any man has a discharge from his body, his discharge is unclean. 3 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. 4 Every bed is [a]unclean on which he who has the discharge lies, and everything on which he sits shall be unclean. 5 And whoever (B)touches his bed shall (C)wash his clothes and (D)bathe in water, and be unclean until evening. 6 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. 7 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. 8 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. 9 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.’ ”
