1The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

1וַיְדַבֵּ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה וְאֶֽל־ אַהֲרֹ֖ן לֵאמֹֽר׃

2“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. “Any man who has a bodily discharge is ceremonially unclean.

2דַּבְּרוּ֙ אֶל־ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם אֲלֵהֶ֑ם אִ֣ישׁ אִ֗ישׁ כִּ֤י יִהְיֶה֙ זָ֣ב מִבְּשָׂר֔וֹ זוֹב֖וֹ טָמֵ֥א הֽוּא׃

3This defilement is caused by his discharge, whether the discharge continues or stops. In either case the man is unclean.

3וְזֹ֛את תִּהְיֶ֥ה טֻמְאָת֖וֹ בְּזוֹב֑וֹ רָ֣ר בְּשָׂר֞וֹ אֶת־ זוֹב֗וֹ אֽוֹ־ הֶחְתִּ֤ים בְּשָׂרוֹ֙ מִזּוֹב֔וֹ טֻמְאָת֖וֹ הִֽוא׃

4Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies and anything on which he sits will be ceremonially unclean.

4כָּל־ הַמִּשְׁכָּ֗ב אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִשְׁכַּ֥ב עָלָ֛יו הַזָּ֖ב יִטְמָ֑א וְכָֽל־ הַכְּלִ֛י אֲשֶׁר־ יֵשֵׁ֥ב עָלָ֖יו יִטְמָֽא׃

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.

5וְאִ֕ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִגַּ֖ע בְּמִשְׁכָּב֑וֹ יְכַבֵּ֧ס בְּגָדָ֛יו וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֖יִם וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

6If you sit where the man with the discharge has sat, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

6וְהַיֹּשֵׁב֙ עַֽל־ הַכְּלִ֔י אֲשֶׁר־ יֵשֵׁ֥ב עָלָ֖יו הַזָּ֑ב יְכַבֵּ֧ס בְּגָדָ֛יו וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֖יִם וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

7If you touch the man with the discharge, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

7וְהַנֹּגֵ֖עַ בִּבְשַׂ֣ר הַזָּ֑ב יְכַבֵּ֧ס בְּגָדָ֛יו וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֖יִם וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

8If the man spits on you, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

8וְכִֽי־ יָרֹ֛ק הַזָּ֖ב בַּטָּה֑וֹר וְכִבֶּ֧ס בְּגָדָ֛יו וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֖יִם וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

9Any saddle blanket on which the man rides will be ceremonially unclean.

9וְכָל־ הַמֶּרְכָּ֗ב אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִרְכַּ֥ב עָלָ֛יו הַזָּ֖ב יִטְמָֽא׃

10If you touch anything that was under the man, you will be unclean until evening. You must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

10וְכָל־ הַנֹּגֵ֗עַ בְּכֹל֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִהְיֶ֣ה תַחְתָּ֔יו יִטְמָ֖א עַד־ הָעָ֑רֶב וְהַנּוֹשֵׂ֣א אוֹתָ֔ם יְכַבֵּ֧ס בְּגָדָ֛יו וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֖יִם וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

11If the man touches you without first rinsing his hands, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

11וְכֹ֨ל אֲשֶׁ֤ר יִגַּע־ בּוֹ֙ הַזָּ֔ב וְיָדָ֖יו לֹא־ שָׁטַ֣ף בַּמָּ֑יִם וְכִבֶּ֧ס בְּגָדָ֛יו וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֖יִם וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

12Any clay pot the man touches must be broken, and any wooden utensil he touches must be rinsed with water.

12וּכְלִי־ חֶ֛רֶשׂ אֲשֶׁר־ יִגַּע־ בּ֥וֹ הַזָּ֖ב יִשָּׁבֵ֑ר וְכָל־ כְּלִי־ עֵ֔ץ יִשָּׁטֵ֖ף בַּמָּֽיִם׃

13“When the man with the discharge is healed, he must count off seven days for the period of purification. Then he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in fresh water, and he will be ceremonially clean.

13וְכִֽי־ יִטְהַ֤ר הַזָּב֙ מִזּוֹב֔וֹ וְסָ֨פַר ל֜וֹ שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִ֛ים לְטָהֳרָת֖וֹ וְכִבֶּ֣ס בְּגָדָ֑יו וְרָחַ֧ץ בְּשָׂר֛וֹ בְּמַ֥יִם חַיִּ֖ים וְטָהֵֽר׃

14On the eighth day he must get two turtledoves or two young pigeons and come before the LORD at the entrance of the Tabernacle and give his offerings to the priest.

14וּבַיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁמִינִ֗י יִֽקַּֽח־ לוֹ֙ שְׁתֵּ֣י תֹרִ֔ים א֥וֹ שְׁנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֣י יוֹנָ֑ה וּבָ֣א ׀ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֗ה אֶל־ פֶּ֙תַח֙ אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד וּנְתָנָ֖ם אֶל־ הַכֹּהֵֽן׃

15The priest will offer one bird for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. Through this process, the priest will purify the man before the LORD for his discharge.

15וְעָשָׂ֤ה אֹתָם֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן אֶחָ֣ד חַטָּ֔את וְהָאֶחָ֖ד עֹלָ֑ה וְכִפֶּ֨ר עָלָ֧יו הַכֹּהֵ֛ן לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה מִזּוֹבֽוֹ׃ ס

16“Whenever a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his entire body in water, and he will remain ceremonially unclean until the next evening.

16וְאִ֕ישׁ כִּֽי־ תֵצֵ֥א מִמֶּ֖נּוּ שִׁכְבַת־ זָ֑רַע וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֛יִם אֶת־ כָּל־ בְּשָׂר֖וֹ וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

17Any clothing or leather with semen on it must be washed in water, and it will remain unclean until evening.

17וְכָל־ בֶּ֣גֶד וְכָל־ ע֔וֹר אֲשֶׁר־ יִהְיֶ֥ה עָלָ֖יו שִׁכְבַת־ זָ֑רַע וְכֻבַּ֥ס בַּמַּ֖יִם וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃ פ

18After a man and a woman have sexual intercourse, they must each bathe in water, and they will remain unclean until the next evening.

18וְאִשָּׁ֕ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִשְׁכַּ֥ב אִ֛ישׁ אֹתָ֖הּ שִׁכְבַת־ זָ֑רַע וְרָחֲצ֣וּ בַמַּ֔יִם וְטָמְא֖וּ עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

19“Whenever a woman has her menstrual period, she will be ceremonially unclean for seven days. Anyone who touches her during that time will be unclean until evening.

19וְאִשָּׁה֙ כִּֽי־ תִהְיֶ֣ה זָבָ֔ה דָּ֛ם יִהְיֶ֥ה זֹבָ֖הּ בִּבְשָׂרָ֑הּ שִׁבְעַ֤ת יָמִים֙ תִּהְיֶ֣ה בְנִדָּתָ֔הּ וְכָל־ הַנֹּגֵ֥עַ בָּ֖הּ יִטְמָ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

20Anything on which the woman lies or sits during the time of her period will be unclean.

20וְכֹל֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר תִּשְׁכַּ֥ב עָלָ֛יו בְּנִדָּתָ֖הּ יִטְמָ֑א וְכֹ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־ תֵּשֵׁ֥ב עָלָ֖יו יִטְמָֽא׃

21If any of you touch her bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

21וְכָל־ הַנֹּגֵ֖עַ בְּמִשְׁכָּבָ֑הּ יְכַבֵּ֧ס בְּגָדָ֛יו וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֖יִם וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

22If you touch any object she has sat on, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

22וְכָל־ הַנֹּגֵ֔עַ בְּכָל־ כְּלִ֖י אֲשֶׁר־ תֵּשֵׁ֣ב עָלָ֑יו יְכַבֵּ֧ס בְּגָדָ֛יו וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֖יִם וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

23This includes her bed or any other object she has sat on; you will be unclean until evening if you touch it.

23וְאִ֨ם עַֽל־ הַמִּשְׁכָּ֜ב ה֗וּא א֧וֹ עַֽל־ הַכְּלִ֛י אֲשֶׁר־ הִ֥וא יֹשֶֽׁבֶת־ עָלָ֖יו בְּנָגְעוֹ־ ב֑וֹ יִטְמָ֖א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

24If a man has sexual intercourse with her and her blood touches him, her menstrual impurity will be transmitted to him. He will remain unclean for seven days, and any bed on which he lies will be unclean.

24וְאִ֡ם שָׁכֹב֩ יִשְׁכַּ֨ב אִ֜ישׁ אֹתָ֗הּ וּתְהִ֤י נִדָּתָהּ֙ עָלָ֔יו וְטָמֵ֖א שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֑ים וְכָל־ הַמִּשְׁכָּ֛ב אֲשֶׁר־ יִשְׁכַּ֥ב עָלָ֖יו יִטְמָֽא׃ פ

25“If a woman has a flow of blood for many days that is unrelated to her menstrual period, or if the blood continues beyond the normal period, she is ceremonially unclean. As during her menstrual period, the woman will be unclean as long as the discharge continues.

25וְאִשָּׁ֡ה כִּֽי־ יָזוּב֩ ז֨וֹב דָּמָ֜הּ יָמִ֣ים רַבִּ֗ים בְּלֹא֙ עֶת־ נִדָּתָ֔הּ א֥וֹ כִֽי־ תָז֖וּב עַל־ נִדָּתָ֑הּ כָּל־ יְמֵ֞י ז֣וֹב טֻמְאָתָ֗הּ כִּימֵ֧י נִדָּתָ֛הּ תִּהְיֶ֖ה טְמֵאָ֥ה הִֽוא׃

26Any bed she lies on and any object she sits on during that time will be unclean, just as during her normal menstrual period.

26כָּל־ הַמִּשְׁכָּ֞ב אֲשֶׁר־ תִּשְׁכַּ֤ב עָלָיו֙ כָּל־ יְמֵ֣י זוֹבָ֔הּ כְּמִשְׁכַּ֥ב נִדָּתָ֖הּ יִֽהְיֶה־ לָּ֑הּ וְכָֽל־ הַכְּלִי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תֵּשֵׁ֣ב עָלָ֔יו טָמֵ֣א יִהְיֶ֔ה כְּטֻמְאַ֖ת נִדָּתָֽהּ׃

27If any of you touch these things, you will be ceremonially unclean. You must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.

27וְכָל־ הַנּוֹגֵ֥עַ בָּ֖ם יִטְמָ֑א וְכִבֶּ֧ס בְּגָדָ֛יו וְרָחַ֥ץ בַּמַּ֖יִם וְטָמֵ֥א עַד־ הָעָֽרֶב׃

28“When the woman’s bleeding stops, she must count off seven days. Then she will be ceremonially clean.

28וְאִֽם־ טָהֲרָ֖ה מִזּוֹבָ֑הּ וְסָ֥פְרָה לָּ֛הּ שִׁבְעַ֥ת יָמִ֖ים וְאַחַ֥ר תִּטְהָֽר׃

29On the eighth day she must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons and present them to the priest at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

29וּבַיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁמִינִ֗י תִּֽקַּֽח־ לָהּ֙ שְׁתֵּ֣י תֹרִ֔ים א֥וֹ שְׁנֵ֖י בְּנֵ֣י יוֹנָ֑ה וְהֵבִיאָ֤ה אוֹתָם֙ אֶל־ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן אֶל־ פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃

30The priest will offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. Through this process, the priest will purify her before the LORD for the ceremonial impurity caused by her bleeding.

30וְעָשָׂ֤ה הַכֹּהֵן֙ אֶת־ הָאֶחָ֣ד חַטָּ֔את וְאֶת־ הָאֶחָ֖ד עֹלָ֑ה וְכִפֶּ֨ר עָלֶ֤יהָ הַכֹּהֵן֙ לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה מִזּ֖וֹב טֻמְאָתָֽהּ׃

31“This is how you will guard the people of Israel from ceremonial uncleanness. Otherwise they would die, for their impurity would defile my Tabernacle that stands among them.

31וְהִזַּרְתֶּ֥ם אֶת־ בְּנֵי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִטֻּמְאָתָ֑ם וְלֹ֤א יָמֻ֙תוּ֙ בְּטֻמְאָתָ֔ם בְּטַמְּאָ֥ם אֶת־ מִשְׁכָּנִ֖י אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּתוֹכָֽם׃

32These are the instructions for dealing with anyone who has a bodily discharge—a man who is unclean because of an emission of semen

32זֹ֥את תּוֹרַ֖ת הַזָּ֑ב וַאֲשֶׁ֨ר תֵּצֵ֥א מִמֶּ֛נּוּ שִׁכְבַת־ זֶ֖רַע לְטָמְאָה־ בָֽהּ׃

33or a woman during her menstrual period. It applies to any man or woman who has a bodily discharge, and to a man who has sexual intercourse with a woman who is ceremonially unclean.”

33וְהַדָּוָה֙ בְּנִדָּתָ֔הּ וְהַזָּב֙ אֶת־ זוֹב֔וֹ לַזָּכָ֖ר וְלַנְּקֵבָ֑ה וּלְאִ֕ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִשְׁכַּ֖ב עִם־ טְמֵאָֽה׃ פ
