1And the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron, 2“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When any man has a running issue out of his flesh, because of it, he is unclean. 3And whether his flesh continues to run with his issue, or it is stopped, it is his uncleanness. 4Every bed on which he lies is unclean: and everything on which he sits shall be unclean. 5And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 6And anyone who sits on anything that he has sat on shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 7And anyone who touches his flesh shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 8And if anyone who has the issue spits on someone who is clean; then that person shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 9And whatever saddle the one with the issue rides upon shall be unclean. 10And whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until evening: and anyone who carries any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 11And whomever he touches, and has not rinsed his hands in water, shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 12And any clay pot that he touches shall be broken; and any wooden article shall be rinsed in water. 13And when anyone with an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall count to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall then be clean. 14And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD to the entrance of the tabernacle of meeting, and give them to the priest: 15And 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 has an emission of semen, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening. 17And every garment, of cloth or leather on which the semen is, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening. 18And if any woman lies with that man, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening. 19‘And if a woman has an issue of blood, due to her period, she shall be set apart seven days: and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening. 20And everything that she lies or sits on during her period shall also be unclean. 21And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes, bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 22And whoever touches anything that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, bathe in water, and be unclean until the evening. 23And if it is on her bed, or on anything she sits on, whoever touches it shall be unclean until the evening. 24And if any man lies with her at all, and her impurity is upon him, he shall be unclean for seven days; and the bed on which he lies shall be unclean. 25‘And if a woman has an issue of her blood for many days at a time, other than her period, or if it runs beyond the time of her period; all the days of the issue shall be treated as the days of her period: she shall be unclean. 26Every bed on which she lies during those days of her issue shall be to her the same as the bed of her period: and whatever she sits on shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her period. 27And whoever touches those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 28But if she is cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 29And on the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the entrance of the tabernacle of meeting. 30And 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“And so you must separate the Israelites from things that make them unclean; 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 semen goes from him, and he is defiled by it; 33And of a woman with the issue of her period, and of anyone that has an issue - either man or woman, and anyone who lies with him or her that is ceremonially unclean.” Reader-Friendly Bible: Purple Letter Edition © 2024 by Jim Musser.
