- Chapter 15 -

(Deuteronomy 23:9–14)
1
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2
“Speak to the people of Israel, and say to them, ’When any man has an infected fluid that comes out of his body, he becomes unclean.
3
His uncleanness is due to this infected fluid. Whether his body flows with fluid or is stopped up, it is unclean.
4
Every bed on which he lies will be unclean, and everything on which he sits will be unclean.
5
Whoever touches his bed must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
6
Anyone who sits on anything on which the man with the flow of infected fluid sat, that person must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening.
7
Anyone who touches the body of the one who has a flow of infected fluid must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.
8
If the person who has such a flow of fluid spits on someone who is clean, then that person must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening.
9
Any saddle which he who has a flow rides upon will be unclean.
10
Whoever touches anything that was under that person will be unclean until evening, and anyone who carries those things must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; he will be unclean until evening.
11
Whomever he who has such a flow touches without first having rinsed his hands in water, the person who was touched must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening.
12
Any clay pot that the one with such a flow of fluid touches must be broken, and every container of wood must be rinsed in water.

The Cleansing of Men

13
When he who has a flow is cleansed from his flow, then he must count for himself seven days for his cleansing; then he must wash his clothes and bathe his body in running water. Then he will be clean.
14
On the eighth day he must take two doves or two young pigeons and come before Yahweh at the entrance to the tent of meeting; there he must give the birds to the priest.
15
The priest must offer them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and the priest must make atonement for him before Yahweh for his flow.
16
If any man has an emission of semen, then he must bathe his whole body in water; he will be unclean until evening.
17
Every garment or leather on which there is semen must be washed with water; it will be unclean until evening.
18
If a woman and a man sleep together and there is a transfer of semen to her, they must both bathe themselves in water; they will be unclean until evening.

The Uncleanness of Women

19
When a woman menstruates, her impurity will continue for seven days, and whoever touches her will be unclean until evening.
20
Everything she lies on during her period will be unclean; everything that she sits on will also be unclean.
21
Whoever touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; that person will be unclean until evening.
22
Whoever touches anything that she sits on must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; that person will be unclean until evening.
23
Whether it is on the bed or on anything on which she sits, if he touches it, that person will be unclean until evening.
24
If any man sleeps with her, and if her impure flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days. Every bed on which he lies will be unclean.
25
If a woman has a flow of blood for many days that is not in the time of her menstruation, or if she has a flow beyond the time of her menstruation, during all the days of the flow of her uncleanness, she will be as if she were in the days of her period. She is unclean.
26
Every bed on which she lies all during her flow of blood will be to her just like the bed on which she lies during her menstruation, and everything on which she sits will be unclean, just like the uncleanness of her menstruation.
27
Whoever touches any of those things will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening.

The Cleansing of Women

28
But if she is cleansed from her flow of blood, then she will count for herself seven days, and after that she will be clean.
29
On the eighth day she will take to her two doves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
30
The priest will offer one bird as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and he will make atonement for her before Yahweh for her unclean flow of blood.
31
This is how you must separate the people of Israel from their uncleanness, so they will not die due to their uncleanness, by defiling my tabernacle, where I live among them.
32
These are the regulations for anyone who has a flow of fluid, for any man whose semen goes out of him and makes him unclean,
33
for any woman who has a menstrual period, for anyone with a flow of fluid, whether male or female, and for any man who sleeps with an unclean woman.’”
(Deuteronomy 23:9–14)
1
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2
Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When any man has a discharge from his body, because of his discharge he is unclean.
3
This shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his body runs with his discharge, or his body has stopped from his discharge, it is his uncleanness.
4
“‘Every bed on which he who has the discharge lies shall be unclean; and everything he sits on shall be unclean.
5
Whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
6
He who sits on anything on which the man who has the discharge sat shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
7
“‘He who touches the body of him who has the discharge shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
8
“‘If he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
9
“‘Whatever saddle he who has the discharge rides on shall be unclean.
10
Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening. He who carries those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
11
“‘Whomever he who has the discharge touches, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.
12
“‘The earthen vessel, which he who has the discharge touches, shall be broken; and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

13
“‘When he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
14
“‘On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest.
15
The priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him before the LORD for his discharge.
16

17
Every garment and every skin which the semen is on shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.

25
“‘If a woman has a discharge of her blood many days not in the time of her period, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her period, all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall be as in the days of her period. She is unclean.
26
Every bed she lies on all the days of her discharge shall be to her as the bed of her period. Everything she sits on shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her period.
27
Whoever touches these things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

31
“‘Thus you shall separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, so they will not die in their uncleanness when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.’”
32
This is the law of him who has a discharge, and of him who has an emission of semen, so that he is unclean by it;
33
and of her who has her period, and of a man or woman who has a discharge, and of him who lies with her who is unclean.
