1. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
2. Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any man has a genital discharge, he is thereby unclean.
3. Such is his uncleanness from this discharge, whether his body drains freely with the discharge or is blocked up from the discharge. His uncleanness is on him all the days that his body discharges or is blocked up from his discharge; this is his uncleanness.
4. Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies is unclean, and any article on which he sits is unclean.
5. Anyone who touches his bed shall wash his garments, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
6. Whoever sits on an article on which the man with the discharge was sitting shall wash his garments, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
7. Whoever touches the body of the man with the discharge shall wash his garments, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
8. If the man with the discharge spits on a clean person, the latter shall wash his garments, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
9. Any saddle on which the man with the discharge rides is unclean.
10. Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until evening; whoever carries any such thing shall wash his garments, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
11. Anyone whom the man with the discharge touches with his unrinsed hands shall wash his garments, bathe in water, and be unclean until evening.
12. Earthenware touched by the man with the discharge shall be broken; and every wooden article shall be rinsed with water.
13. When a man with a discharge becomes clean of his discharge, he shall count seven days for his purification. Then he shall wash his garments and bathe his body in fresh water, and so he will be clean.
