Chapter 15
1
And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying:
2
Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: Any man, when he has a zav from his flesh—his discharge—is unclean.
3
And this shall be his ritual impurity in his discharge: his flesh flows his discharge or the blockages of his flesh from his discharge—his ritual impurity is it.
4
Every bed on which the one with a discharge lies shall become ritually impure, and every vessel on which he sits shall become ritually impure.
5
And a man who touches his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and he shall be ritually impure until evening.
6
And the one who sits on the vessel on which the one with a discharge sat shall wash his garments and bathe in water and be ritually impure until evening.
7
And the one who touches the flesh of the one with a discharge shall wash his garments and bathe in water, and be ritually impure until evening.
8
And if the one with a discharge spits on a ritually clean person, he shall wash his garments and bathe in water; he is ritually impure until evening.
9
And every riding mount that the zab rides upon shall become ritually impure.
10
And everyone who touches anything under him will be unclean until the evening, and the one who carries them will wash his garments and wash in water and will be unclean until the evening.
11
And everything that the one with a discharge touches when his hands have not been rinsed in water—he washes his garments and bathes in water, and he is impure until evening.
12
And an earthen vessel that the one with a discharge touches shall be broken, and every wooden vessel shall be rinsed with water.
13
And when the zab is purified from his zov, he shall count seven days for his purification, and he shall wash his garments and wash his flesh in living waters, and he shall be purified.
14
And on the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and come before the LORD at the entrance of the tent of meeting and give them to the priest.
15
And he shall bring them to the priest: one as a sin offering and the one as a burnt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD from his discharge.
16
And if a man has an emission of seed from him, he shall wash all his flesh in water, and he is ritually impure until evening.
17
And every garment and every skin on which there is a layer of seed, he shall wash it in water and be unclean until the evening.
18
And if a man lies with a woman, having an emission of seed, he shall wash in water and they will be ritually impure until evening.
19
And when a woman has a flow of blood, it will be her flow in her flesh for seven days. She shall be in her menstrual impurity, and everyone who touches her shall become ritually impure until evening.
20
And everything on which she lies in her impurity will become ritually impure, and everything on which she sits will become ritually impure.
21
And everyone who touches her bed shall wash his garments and bathe in water, and he shall be unclean until the evening.
22
And anyone who touches any vessel on which she sits shall wash his garments and bathe in water, and he shall be unclean until the evening.
23
And if it is on the bed or on the vessel on which he sat, it will become ritually impure until evening.
24
And if he lies with her—a man with her—and her impurity is upon him, then he shall be ritually impure seven days, and every bed upon which he lies shall be ritually impure.
25
And if a woman has a flow of her blood for many days not at the time of her menstruation, or if she flows beyond her menstruation, all the days of the flow of her impurity she shall be ritually impure as in the days of her menstruation.
26
Every bed on which she lies during all the days of her discharge shall be like the bed of her menstrual impurity to her, and every vessel on which she sits shall be unclean like the uncleanness of her menstrual impurity.
27
And everyone who touches them shall be ritually impure and shall wash his garments and shall bathe in water and shall be ritually impure until the evening.
28
And if she is ritually pure from her zav and she counts for herself seven days, afterward she will be ritually pure.
29
And on the eighth day she shall take for herself two turtledoves or two young doves, and bring them to the priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
30
And the priest shall make the one a sin offering and the one a burnt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for her before the LORD from the flow of her ritual impurity.
31
You shall make the sons of Israel separate from their impurity, and they shall not die in their impurity when they defile my tabernacle that is in their midst.
32
This is the Torah of the zab and of that which goes out from him, a lying of seed, to make her ritually impure in it.
33
And the woman with her menstrual impurity and the man with his discharge, the male and the female and the man who lies with an impure one.
