⁵²He will purify the house with the blood of the bird, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn. ⁵³Then he is to release the live bird into the open countryside^c outside the city. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.

⁵⁴“This is the law for any skin disease or mildew, for a scaly outbreak, ⁵⁵for mildew in clothing or on a house, ⁵⁶and for a swelling, scab, or spot, ⁵⁷to determine when something is unclean or clean. This is the law regarding skin disease and mildew.”

BODILY DISCHARGES

15The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron: ²“Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any man has a discharge^d from his member, he is unclean. ³This is uncleanness of his discharge: Whether his member secretes the discharge or retains it, he is unclean. All the days that his member secretes or retains anything because of his discharge,^A he is unclean. ⁴Any bed the man with the discharge lies on will be unclean, and any furniture he sits on will be unclean. ⁵Anyone who touches his bed is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening.
