Holman Christian Standard BibleNew International Version
1The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron: "1The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any man has a discharge from his body, he is unclean. 2"Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When any man has an unusual bodily discharge, such a discharge is unclean.
3This is uncleanness of his discharge: Whether his body secretes the discharge or retains it, he is unclean. All the days that his body secretes or retains anything because of his discharge, he 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:
4Any bed the man with the discharge lies on will be unclean, and any furniture he sits on will be unclean. 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 is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening. 5Anyone who touches his bed must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.
6Whoever sits on furniture that the man with the discharge was sitting on is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening. 6Whoever 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.
7Whoever touches the body of the man with a discharge is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening. 7"'Whoever touches the man who has a discharge must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.
8If the man with the discharge spits on anyone who is clean, he is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening. 8"'If the man with the discharge spits on anyone who is clean, they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.
9Any saddle the man with the discharge rides on will be unclean.9"'Everything the man sits on when riding will be unclean,
10Whoever touches anything that was under him will be unclean until evening, and whoever carries such things is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening. 10and whoever touches any of the things that were under him will be unclean till evening; whoever picks up those things must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.
11If the man with the discharge touches anyone without first rinsing his hands in water, the person who was touched is to wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until 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.
12Any clay pot that the man with the discharge touches must be broken, while any wooden utensil must be rinsed with water." 12"'A clay pot that the man touches must be broken, and any wooden article is to be rinsed with water.
13When the man with the discharge has been cured of it, he is to count seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes, and bathe his body in fresh water; he will be clean. 13"'When a man is cleansed from his discharge, he is to count off seven days for his ceremonial cleansing; he must wash his clothes and bathe himself with fresh water, and he will be clean.
14He must take two turtledoves or two young pigeons on the eighth day, come before the LORD at the entrance to the tent of meeting, and give them to the priest. 14On the eighth day he must take two doves or two young pigeons 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, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for him before the LORD because of his discharge." 15The priest is to sacrifice them, the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. In this way he will make atonement before the LORD for the man because of his discharge.
16When a man has an emission of semen, he is to bathe himself completely with water, and he will remain unclean until evening. 16"'When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean till evening.

18If a man sleeps with a woman and has an emission of semen, both of them are to bathe with water, and they will remain unclean until evening." 18When a man has sexual relations with a woman and there is an emission of semen, both of them must bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.
19When a woman has a discharge, and it consists of blood from her body, she will be unclean because of her menstruation for seven days. Everyone who touches her will be unclean until evening. 19"'When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening.
20Anything she lies on during her menstruation will become unclean, and anything she sits on will become unclean. 20"'Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean.

25When a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days, though it is not the time of her menstruation, or if she has a discharge beyond her period, she will be unclean all the days of her unclean discharge, as she is during the days of her menstruation. 25"'When a woman has a discharge of blood for many days at a time other than her monthly period or has a discharge that continues beyond her period, she will be unclean as long as she has the discharge, just as in the days of her period.
26Any bed she lies on during the days of her discharge will be like her bed during menstrual impurity; any furniture she sits on will be unclean as in her menstrual period. 26Any bed she lies on while her discharge continues will be unclean, as is her bed during her monthly period, and anything she sits on will be unclean, as during her period.
27Everyone who touches them will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will remain unclean until evening. 27Anyone who touches them will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.

31You must keep the Israelites from their uncleanness, so that they do not die by defiling My tabernacle that is among them. 31"'You must keep the Israelites separate from things that make them unclean, so they will not die in their uncleanness for defiling my dwelling place, which is among them.'"
32This is the law for someone with a discharge: a man who has an emission of semen, becoming unclean by it; 32These are the regulations for a man with a discharge, for anyone made unclean by an emission of semen,
33a woman who is in her menstrual period; anyone who has a discharge, whether male or female; and a man who sleeps with an unclean woman." 33for a woman in her monthly period, for a man or a woman with a discharge, and for a man who has sexual relations with a woman who is ceremonially unclean.
