Leviticus 15:1-33, NLT
Leviticus 15
Bodily Discharges
1The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
“Any man who has a bodily discharge is ceremonially unclean.
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.
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.*15:16 Hebrew until evening; also in 15:18.
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.
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.
28“When the woman’s bleeding stops, she must count off seven days. Then she will be ceremonially clean.
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.
