1. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
2. Speak to the Israelites and say to them: Whenever a man has a genital emission, that emission is unclean.
3. This is the nature of the uncleanness brought about by his emission: regardless of whether his genital organ allows his emission to flow or blocks the flow, it is unclean to him.
4. Any bed on which someone with an emission lies will be unclean, and any object on which that person sits will be unclean.
5. Anyone who touches such a bed must wash their clothes, bathe in water, and will be unclean until evening.
6. Anyone who sits on something that the one with the emission also sat on must wash their clothes, bathe in water, and will be unclean until evening.
7. Anyone who touches the body of the one with the emission must wash their clothes, bathe in water, and will be unclean until evening.
8. If the one with the emission spits on a clean person, the clean person must wash their clothes, bathe in water, and will be unclean until evening.
9. Every saddle on which the person with the emission rode will be unclean.
10. Anyone who touches anything that has been under such a person will be unclean until evening. Anyone who carries such items must wash their clothes, bathe in water, and will be unclean until evening.
11. If the one with the emission touches someone without first rinsing his hands with water, that person must wash their clothes, bathe in water, and will be unclean until evening.
12. Any pottery jar that the one with the emission touches must be broken, and any wooden tool must be rinsed with water.
