{Verses 1-15: Uncleanliness of a Running Sore}
1 And Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
  {dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto Moses and to Aaron, saying, 2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When any man has a running issue/sore out of his flesh,
because of his issue he is unclean.

3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue/sore.

Whether his flesh run with his issue/sore,
or his flesh be stopped from his issue/sore,
it is his uncleanness.

4 Every bed, whereon he lies that has the issue/sore, is unclean.

And every thing, whereon he sits, shall be unclean.

5 And whosoever touches his bed
shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.

6 And he who sits on any thing whereon
he sat that has the issue/sore shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.

7 And he who touches the flesh of him
who has the issue/sore shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.

8 And if he who has the issue
spit upon him who is clean;
then he shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.

9 And what saddle so ever he rides upon
that has the issue/sore shall be unclean.

10 And whosoever touches any thing
that was under him
shall be unclean until the evening.

And he who bears any of those things
shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.

 11 And whomsoever he touches that has the issue,
and has not rinsed his hands in water,
 he shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.

12 And the vessel of earth,
that he touches which has the issue, shall be broken.

And every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.

13 And when he who has an issue is cleansed of his issue;
then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing,
and wash his clothes,
and bathe his flesh in running water,
and shall be clean.

14 And on the eighth day
he shall take to him two turtledoves,
or two young pigeons,
and come before Jehovah/God
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
and give them unto the priest.

15 And the priest shall offer them,
the one for a sin offering,
and the other for a burnt offering;
and the priest shall make an atonement for him
before Jehovah/God for his issue.

{Verses 16-18: Uncleanliness of Male Ejaculation}
16 And if any man's seed of copulation
go out from him,
then he shall wash all his flesh in water,
and be unclean until the evening.

17 And every garment, and every skin,
whereon is the seed of copulation,
shall be washed with water,
and be unclean until the evening.

{Spiritual Status in Case of Illicit Sex}
18~~If a man copulates with a woman
so that there is seminal emission
they shall both bathe themselves in water,
and be unclean until the evening.

{Verses 19-x: Uncleanliness of Female Fluid}
19 And if a woman have an issue,
and her issue in her flesh be blood,
she shall be put apart seven days.

And whosoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.

20 And every thing that she lies
upon in her separation shall be unclean.

Every thing also that she sits upon shall be unclean.

21 And whosoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.

22 And whosoever touches any thing
that she sat upon shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.

23 And if it be on her bed,
or on any thing whereon she sits,
when he touches it,
he shall be unclean until the evening.

24 And if any man lie with her at all,
and her flowers be upon him,
he shall be unclean seven days;
and all the bed whereon he lies shall be unclean.

25 And if a woman have an issue of her blood
many days out of the time of her separation,
or if it run beyond the time of her separation;
all the days of the issue of her uncleanness
shall be as the days of her separation.

She shall be unclean.

26 Every bed whereon she lies
all the days of her issue shall be unto her
as the bed of her separation.

And whatsoever she sits upon shall be unclean,
as the uncleanness of her separation.

27 And whosoever touches those things shall be unclean,
and shall wash his clothes,
and bathe himself in water,
and be unclean until the evening.

28 But if she be cleansed of her issue,
then she shall number to herself seven days,
and after that she shall be clean.

29 And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles,
or two young pigeons,
and bring them unto the priest,
to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

30 And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering,
and the other for a burnt offering;
and the priest shall make an atonement for her before Jehovah/God
for the issue of her uncleanness.

31 Thus shall you separate the children of Israel
from their uncleanness;
that they die not in their uncleanness,
when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.

32 This is the law of him who has an issue,
and of him whose seed goes from him,
and is defiled therewith.

33 And of her that is sick of her flowers,
and of him who has an issue,
of the man, and of the woman,
and of him who lies with her that is unclean.
