Leviticus 15:1-12 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2. “Speak to the Israelites, and you shall say to them, ‘Any man when a fluid discharge occurs from his body, his fluid discharge is unclean.

3. And this becomes his uncleanness in his fluid discharge: whether his body secretes his fluid discharge or his body blocks his fluid discharge, it is his uncleanness.

4. Any bed upon which the person who discharges lies down becomes unclean, and any object upon which he sits becomes unclean.

5. And anyone who touches his bed must wash his garments and shall wash himself with water, and he shall be unclean until evening.

6. And the person who sits on the object upon which the person who discharges has sat must wash his garments, and he shall wash himself with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening.

7. And the person who touches the body of the person who discharges must wash his garments, and he shall wash himself with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening.

8. And if the person who discharges spits on one who is clean, then that one shall wash is garments, and he shall wash himself with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening.

9. And any saddle upon which the person who discharges rides becomes unclean.

10. And any person who touches anything that happened to be under him becomes unclean until the evening, and the person who carries them must wash his garments, and he shall wash himself with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening.

11. And anyone whom the person who discharges might touch without rinsing off his hands with water shall wash his garments, and he shall wash himself with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening.

12. But a clay vessel that the person who discharges touches must be broken, and any wood object must be rinsed with water.
