1. And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2. Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: The man who undergoes a flow of seed shall be unclean.
3. And then he shall be judged subject to this fault, if a filthy fluid, at each moment, adheres to his flesh and gathers there.
4. Every bed on which he sleeps shall be unclean, and every place where he sits.
5. If any man has touched his couch, he shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.
6. If he will have sat where that man has sat, he shall also wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.
7. Whoever has touched his flesh shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.
8. If such a man has cast his spittle upon him who is clean, he shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.
9. The saddle on which he has sat shall be unclean.
10. And whatever has been under him who has undergone a flow of seed shall be polluted until evening. Whoever carries any of these things shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.
11. All whom such a one has touched, not having washed his hands before, shall wash his clothes, and having washed with water, he shall be unclean until evening.
12. If he has touched an earthen vessel, it shall be broken. But if it is a wooden vessel, it shall be washed with water.
13. If he who suffers from this affliction will have been healed, he shall number seven days after his cleansing, and having washed his clothes and his entire body in living water, he shall be clean.
14. Then, on the eighth day, he shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and he shall advance, in the sight of the Lord, toward the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and he shall give these to the priest,
15. who shall offer one for sin, and the other as a holocaust. And he shall pray for him before the Lord, so that he may be cleansed from the flow of his seed.
16. A man from whom the seed of sexual intercourse goes out shall wash his entire body with water, and he shall be unclean until evening.
