Chapter 15 Bodily Discharges

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, ²“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel.

“Any man who has a bodily discharge is ceremonially unclean. ³This defilement is caused by his discharge, whether the discharge continues or stops. In either case the man is unclean. ⁴Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies and anything on which he sits will be ceremonially unclean. ⁵So if you touch the man’s bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.
