THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS

 

Leviticus Chapter 15

1 ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When any man has a discharge from his body, because of his discharge he is unclean.

3 And this is the law of his uncleanness for his discharge: whether his body runs with his discharge, or his body has stopped the discharge, it is his uncleanness.

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

5 And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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

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

8 And if he who has the issue 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 whatever saddle on which he who has the issue rides shall be unclean.

10 And whoever touches any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the evening: and he who carries any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

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

12 And the vessel of earth, that he who has the issue touches, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

13 And when he who has 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 two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 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 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 evening.

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

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 evening.

19 ¶ And if a woman has an issue, and her issue from her flesh is blood, she shall be set apart seven days: and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.

20 And every thing that she lies on during her separation shall be unclean: every thing that she sits on shall also be unclean.

21 And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

22 And whosoever touches 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 is on her bed, or on any thing on which she sits, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until the evening.

24 And if any man lies with her, and her impurity is on him, he shall be unclean for seven days; and the entire bed on which he lies shall be unclean.

25 And if a woman has an issue of blood not connected with her menstrual period, or if it continues beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the discharge shall be as the days of her uncleanness and separation: she shall be unclean.

26 Every bed on which she lies all the days of her issue shall be to her as the bed of her separation: and whatever she sits on shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.

27 And whoever touches those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

28 But if she is 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 to her two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

30 And the priest shall offer 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 you separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; so that they do not die in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.

32 This is the law of him who has an issue, and of him whose seed goes from him, and is defiled thereby;

33 And of her who is sick with her monthly discharge, and of him who has a discharge, of the man, and of the woman, and of him who lies with her that is unclean.
