1. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron:
2. “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any man has a discharge from his body, he is unclean.
3. This is uncleanness of his discharge: Whether his body secretes the discharge or retains it, he is unclean. All the days that his body secretes or retains anything because of his discharge, he is unclean.
4. Any bed the man with the discharge lies on will be unclean, and any furniture he sits on will be unclean.
5. Anyone who touches his bed is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.
6. Whoever sits on furniture that the man with the discharge was sitting on is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.
7. Whoever touches the body of the man with a discharge is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.
