1. Adonai spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:
2. “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael and tell them: When any man has a fluid discharge from his body, because of his discharge he is unclean.
3. This is to be his uncleanness in his discharge. Whether his body flows with his discharge or his body obstructs his discharge, it is his uncleanness.
4. “Every bed on which he who has the discharge lies will become unclean, and everything he sits on will be unclean.
5. Whoever touches his bed is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
6. Whoever sits on anything on which the man who has the discharge sat is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
7. Whoever touches the body of the one who has the discharge is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
8. Or if the one who has the discharge spits on someone who is clean, then he also is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
9. “Any saddle the one who has the discharge rides on will be unclean.
10. Whoever touches anything that was under him will be unclean until the evening. Whoever carries them is to wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
11. “Also anyone the person with the discharge touches without rinsing his hands in water shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
12. “A clay pot that one with the discharge touches shall be broken, and every wooden vessel shall be rinsed in water.
13. “When the one who has a fluid discharge is cleansed of his issue, then he is to count for himself seven days for his purification and wash his clothes. Then he is to bathe his body in running water, and he will be clean.
14. On the eighth day he is to take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before Adonai at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the kohen.
15. The kohen is to offer them, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. So the kohen shall make atonement for him before Adonai for his fluid discharge.
16. “If any man has an emission of semen, then he is to bathe his whole body in water and be unclean until the evening.
17. Every garment and all leather with semen on it are to be washed with water, and will be unclean until the evening.
18. If a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.
19. “If a woman has a discharge, and her discharge from her body is blood, she shall be in her niddah seven days. And whoever touches her will be unclean until the evening.
20. Everything that she lies on in her niddah will become unclean. Also everything that she sits on will become unclean.
