Up and down arrows move from one verse to the next.

1The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said,

2"Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, 'When any man has a discharge running from his body, that discharge makes him unclean."

3"This is how his discharge makes him unclean: whether his body lets the discharge flow, or whether his body is blocked and it does not flow, he is unclean."

4"Every bed that the man with the discharge lies on is unclean. Everything he sits on is unclean."

5"Anyone who touches his bed must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening."

6"Anyone who sits on something that the man with the discharge sat on must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening."

7"Anyone who touches the body of the man with the discharge must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening."

8"If the man with the discharge spits on someone who is clean, that person must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening."

9"Any saddle that the man with the discharge rides on will be unclean."

10"Anyone who touches anything that was under him will be unclean until evening. Anyone who carries such things must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening."

11"If the man with the discharge touches someone without first rinsing his hands in water, that person must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening."

12"Any clay pot that the man with the discharge touches must be broken. Every wooden container must be rinsed in water."

13"When the man with the discharge becomes clean from it, he must count seven days for his cleansing. Then he must wash his clothes and bathe his body in running water, and he will be clean."

14"On the eighth day he must take two turtledoves or two young pigeons. He must come before the LORD to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation and give them to the priest."

15"The priest will offer them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. So the priest will make atonement for him before the LORD because of his discharge."

16"If a man has an emission of semen, he must wash his whole body in water, and he will be unclean until evening."

17"Every garment and every piece of leather that has semen on it must be washed with water, and it will be unclean until evening."

18"When a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, both of them must bathe themselves in water, and they will be unclean until evening."

19"When a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood, she must be kept apart for seven days. Anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening."

20"Everything she lies on during this time will be unclean. Everything she sits on will be unclean as well."

21"Anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening."

22"Anyone who touches anything she has sat on must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening."

23"If something is on her bed, or on anything she sits on, whoever touches it will be unclean until evening."

24"If any man lies with her and her monthly flow comes on him, he will be unclean for seven days. Every bed he lies on will be unclean."

25"If a woman has a flow of blood for many days when it is not the time of her monthly flow, or if it goes on past that time, then all the days of her unclean discharge will be like the days of her monthly flow. She is unclean."

26"Every bed she lies on during all the days of her discharge will be to her like the bed she lies on in her monthly flow. Whatever she sits on will be unclean, as in the uncleanness of her monthly flow."

27"Anyone who touches those things will be unclean. He must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening."

28"But when she becomes clean from her discharge, she must count seven days, and after that she will be clean."

29"On the eighth day she must take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation."

30"The priest will offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. So the priest will make atonement for her before the LORD because of her unclean discharge."

31"In this way you shall keep the children of Israel away from their uncleanness, so that they do not die in their uncleanness by making my tabernacle unclean, which is among them."

32"This is the law for the man who has a discharge, and for the man who has an emission of semen and is made unclean by it,"

33"and for the woman who is unwell with her monthly flow, and for anyone who has a discharge, whether man or woman, and for the man who lies with a woman who is unclean.'"
