Leviticus 15:12-24 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

12. “If a man with a discharge touches a clay bowl, that bowl must be broken. If he touches a wooden bowl, that bowl must be washed in water.

13. “When it comes time for a man with a discharge to be made clean, he must wait seven days. Then he must wash his clothes and bathe his body in running water. Then he will become clean.

14. On the eighth day, he must take for himself two doves or two young pigeons and come before the Lord at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. He will give the two birds to the priest.

15. The priest will offer the birds, one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make that man pure before the Lord.

16. “If a man has a flow of semen, he must bathe his whole body in water. He will be unclean until evening.

17. If the semen is on any clothing or leather, that clothing or leather must be washed with water. It will be unclean until evening.

18. If a woman has sexual relations with a man, and he has a flow of semen, both the man and the woman must bathe in water. They will be unclean until evening.

19. “If a woman has a discharge from her monthly time of bleeding, she will be unclean for seven days. Anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening.

20. Everything she lies on during her monthly time of bleeding will be unclean. And everything she sits on during that time will be unclean.

21. Whoever touches her bed must wash their clothes and bathe in water. They will be unclean until evening.

22. Whoever touches anything she has sat on must wash their clothes and bathe in water. They will be unclean until evening.

23. It doesn’t matter if they touched the woman’s bed or if they touched something she sat on, they will be unclean until evening.

24. “If a man has sexual relations with a woman during her monthly time of bleeding, he will be unclean for seven days. Every bed he lies on will be unclean.
