CHAPTER 15 Laws Regarding Body Flows

1 And the lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, 2 Speak to the sons of Israel! And you shall say to them, The man, a man in whom ever should have a flow from out of his body, his flow is unclean. 3 And this is the law of his uncleanness. Flowing semen from out of his body, from out of the flow, in which [²concocted ¹his body], [²is through ³this flow ¹his uncleanness] in him. 4 Every bed upon which ever he should go to bed upon it, the one having a seminal emission, it is unclean; and every item upon which ever he should sit upon it, the one having a seminal emission, it is unclean. 5 And a man who ever should touch his bed, shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and shall be unclean until evening. 6 And the one sitting down upon the item, upon what ever [³should sit ⁴upon ⁵it ¹the ²one having a seminal emission], he shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and he will be unclean until evening. 7 And the one touching the flesh of the one having a seminal emission, he shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and he will be unclean until evening. 8 And if [³should salivate ¹the ²one having a seminal emission] upon one that is clean, that person shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and he will be unclean until evening. 9 And every saddle upon which [³should ⁴mount ⁵upon ⁶it ¹the ²one having a seminal emission], it will be unclean until evening. 10 And every one touching from all as much as might be underneath him, he will be unclean until evening. And the one lifting them, he shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and will be unclean until evening. 11 And of as many as should touch the one having a seminal emission, and his hands have not been washed in water, he shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and he will be unclean until evening. 12 And [²item ¹an earthenware] of which ever [³should have touched ¹the ²one having a seminal emission], it shall be broken. And every [²item ¹wooden] shall be washed in water, and it will be clean. 13 And if [³should be cleansed ¹the ²one having a seminal emission] from his flow, then he shall count out to himself seven days for his cleansing; and he shall wash his garments, and shall bathe his body [²water ¹in living], and he will be clean. 14 And on the [²day ¹eighth] he shall take to himself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and he shall bring them before the lord, to the doors of the tent of the testimony, and he shall give them to the priest. 15 And [³shall offer ⁴them ¹the ²priest] -- one for a sin offering, and one for a whole burnt-offering. And [³shall atone ⁴for ⁵him ¹the ²priest] before the lord for his flow. 16 And a man who should come forth from his marriage-bed of issuing semen, shall bathe in water all his body, and he will be unclean until evening. 17 And every garment, and every skin, upon which ever might be upon it of the marriage-bed of semen, that it shall be washed in water, and will be unclean until evening. 18 And a wife, if [²should have gone to bed ¹a husband] with her in a marriage-bed of semen, that they shall bathe in water, and they will be unclean until evening. 19 And a woman whoever might be flowing blood, when [³shall be ²flow ¹her] in her body, seven days she will be in her menstruation; every one touching her will be unclean until evening. 20 And everything upon what ever she should lay herself upon it, in her menstruation, it will be unclean; and everything upon what ever she should sit herself upon it, it will be unclean. 21 And all who ever should touch her bed, he shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and will be unclean until evening. 22 And every one touching any item upon which ever she should sit upon it, he shall wash his garments, and shall bathe in water, and shall be unclean until evening. 23 And if [²in ³her bed ¹being], or upon the item of which ever she should sit upon it, in its touching her, it shall be unclean until evening. 24 And if [³in her bed ²should bed down ¹any one] with her, and [²should be ¹her uncleanness] upon him, he shall be unclean seven days. And every bed upon which ever he should go to bed upon it, it shall be unclean. 25 And a woman if she should flow a flow of blood [²days ¹many], not in the time of her menstruation; if also it should flow after her menstruation, all the days of the flow of her uncleanness shall be just as the days of her menstruation -- she shall be unclean. 26 And every bed upon of which ever she should go to bed upon it all the days of her flow, [³as ⁴the ⁵bed ⁶of her menstruation ¹it will be ²to her]. And every item upon which ever she should sit upon it, it shall be unclean, according to the uncleanness of her menstruation. 27 And every man touching her, he shall be unclean, and shall wash his garments, and he shall bathe in water, and he shall be unclean until evening. 28 But if she should be cleansed from her flow, then she shall count out to herself seven days, and after this she shall be cleansed. 29 And the [²day ¹eighth] she shall take for herself two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and she shall bring them to the priest to the door of the tent of the testimony. 30 And [³shall offer ¹the ²priest] the one for a sin offering, and the one for a whole burnt-offering. And [³shall atone ⁴for ⁵her ¹the ²priest] before the lord of the flow of her uncleanness. 31 And [⁵be reverent ¹you shall make ²the ³sons ⁴of Israel] because of their uncleannesses. And they shall not die on account of their uncleanness, in their defiling my tent, the one among them. 32 This is the law of the one having a seminal emission. Even if one should come forth from his marriage-bed of semen, so as to be defiled by it, 33 and the one hemorrhaging in her menstruation, and the one having a seminal emission in his flow to the male or the female, and to the husband if he should go to bed with one sitting apart.
