Leviticus 15:2–15

²“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When any man has an unusual bodily discharge,^x such a discharge is unclean. ³Whether it continues flowing from his body or is blocked, it will make him unclean. This is how his discharge will bring about uncleanness:

⁴“ ‘Any bed the man with a discharge lies on will be unclean, and anything he sits on will be unclean. ⁵Anyone who touches his bed must wash their clothes^y and bathe with water,^z and they will be unclean till evening.^{a 6}Whoever sits on anything that the man with a discharge sat on must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

⁷“ ‘Whoever touches the man^b who has a discharge^c must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

⁸“ ‘If the man with the discharge spits^d on anyone who is clean, they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

⁹“ ‘Everything the man sits on when riding will be unclean, ¹⁰and whoever touches any of the things that were under him will be unclean till evening; whoever picks up those things^e must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

¹¹“ ‘Anyone the man with a discharge touches without rinsing his hands with water must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

¹²“ ‘A clay pot^f that the man touches must be broken, and any wooden article^g is to be rinsed with water.

¹³“ ‘When a man is cleansed from his discharge, he is to count off seven days^h for his ceremonial cleansing; he must wash his clothes and bathe himself with fresh water, and he will be clean.^{i 14}On the eighth day he must take two doves or two young pigeons^j and come before the Lord to the entrance to the tent of meeting and give them to the priest. ¹⁵The priest is to sacrifice them, the one for a sin offering^ak and the other for a burnt offering.^l In this way he will make atonement before the Lord for the man because of his discharge.^m
