Leviticus 14:52–15:5

⁵²Thus he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the fresh water, and with the living bird, and with the cedarwood and hyssop and crimson yarn, ⁵³and he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field; so he shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.^*

⁵⁴“This is the rule for any defiling disease: for an itch,^{* 55}for defiling diseases in clothing and houses, ⁵⁶and for a swelling^w or an eruption or a spot,^{* 57}to determine when it is unclean and when it is clean. This is the rule for defiling diseases.”

Concerning Bodily Discharges

¹⁵The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, ²“Speak to the Israelites and say to them:

“When any man has a discharge from his member,^x his discharge makes him unclean.^{* 3}The uncleanness of his discharge is this: whether his member^y flows with its discharge or is stopped from discharging, he is unclean during the entire period his member^z flows or is stopped from discharging; this is his uncleanness.^{a 4}Every bed on which the one with the discharge lies shall be unclean, and everything on which he sits shall be unclean. ⁵Anyone who touches his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until the evening.
