1 O Senhor Deus deu a Moisés e a Arão as seguintes leis 2 para o povo de Israel:

Quando um homem tiver um corrimento no membro, ele ficará impuro, 3 tanto se o corrimento vazar do membro como se o corrimento parar nele. De um jeito ou do outro o homem ficará impuro. 4 Qualquer cama em que ele se deitar e tudo aquilo em que se assentar ficarão impuros. 5 Se alguém tocar na cama dele 6 ou se sentar onde ele se sentou, essa pessoa deverá lavar a roupa que estiver vestindo e tomar um banho; e ficará impura até o pôr do sol. 7 E quem tocar no homem que tem o corrimento deverá lavar a roupa que estiver vestindo e tomar um banho; e ficará impuro até o pôr do sol. 8 Se o homem que tem o corrimento cuspir numa pessoa que está pura, essa pessoa deverá lavar a roupa que estiver vestindo e tomar um banho; e ficará impura até o pôr do sol. 9 Qualquer sela que o homem montar se tornará impura. 10 Quem tocar naquilo em que o homem se sentou ficará impuro até o pôr do sol. Se alguém pegar naquilo em que o homem se sentou, deverá lavar a roupa que estiver vestindo e tomar um banho; e ficará impuro até o pôr do sol. 11 Se o homem que tem o corrimento tocar numa pessoa sem primeiro lavar as mãos, então aquela pessoa deverá lavar a roupa que estiver vestindo e tomar um banho; e ficará impura até o pôr do sol. 12 Qualquer pote de barro que o homem pegar deverá ser quebrado; se for de madeira, deverá ser lavado.

13 Quando o homem sarar, precisará esperar sete dias para se purificar. Passado esse tempo, deverá lavar a roupa que estiver vestindo e tomar um banho em água de uma fonte; então ficará puro. 14 No oitavo dia ele deverá pegar duas rolinhas ou dois pombinhos, ir até a entrada da Tenda Sagrada e, ali na presença de Deus, o Senhor, entregar as aves ao sacerdote. 15 Este as oferecerá como sacrifício, uma delas como oferta para tirar pecados, e a outra como oferta que será completamente queimada. Assim, na presença do Senhor, o sacerdote fará a cerimônia de purificação, e o homem ficará puro.

16 Quando um homem tiver perda de esperma, deverá tomar um banho e ficará impuro até o pôr do sol. 17 Qualquer roupa ou pedaço de couro em que cair esperma deverá ser lavado e ficará impuro até o pôr do sol. 18 Depois que um homem e uma mulher tiverem relações, os dois deverão tomar um banho e ficarão impuros até o pôr do sol.

19 Quando uma mulher tiver a sua menstruação, ficará impura sete dias. Quem tocar nela durante esse tempo ficará impuro até o pôr do sol. 20 Qualquer cama em que ela se deitar e qualquer coisa em que se sentar ficarão impuras. 21-23 Quem tocar na cama em que ela se deitou ou naquilo em que ela se sentou deverá lavar a roupa que estiver vestindo e tomar um banho; e ficará impuro até o pôr do sol. 24 E o homem que tiver relações com a mulher durante a menstruação ficará impuro sete dias; e qualquer cama em que ele se deitar ficará impura.

25 A mulher que tiver hemorragia ou que continuar menstruada além do tempo normal ficará impura como durante a menstruação. 26 Qualquer cama em que ela se deitar e qualquer coisa em que se sentar durante esse tempo ficarão impuras. 27 E quem tocar na cama ou naquilo em que ela se sentou ficará impuro e deverá lavar a roupa que estiver vestindo e tomar um banho; e ficará impuro até o pôr do sol. 28 Quando a hemorragia parar, ela deverá esperar sete dias e então estará pura. 29 No oitavo dia ela pegará duas rolinhas ou dois pombinhos, irá até a entrada da Tenda Sagrada e entregará as aves ao sacerdote. 30 Este as oferecerá como sacrifício, uma delas como oferta para tirar pecados, e a outra como oferta que será completamente queimada. Assim, na presença de Deus, o Senhor, o sacerdote fará a cerimônia de purificação, e a mulher ficará pura.

31 Essas leis são para livrar os israelitas das suas impurezas, a fim de que não morram por tornarem impura a Tenda Sagrada, que fica no meio do acampamento.

32 São essas as leis a respeito do homem que ficar impuro por causa de corrimento no membro ou de perda de esperma; 33 da mulher durante a menstruação; e do homem que tiver relações com uma mulher menstruada.

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man has a discharge out of his flesh, because of his discharge he is unclean.3 And this shall be his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his flesh runs with his discharge, or his flesh be stopped from his discharge, it is his uncleanness.4 Every bed, whereon he lies that has the discharge, is unclean: and everything, 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 that sits on any thing on which he sat that has the discharge shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.7 And he that touches the flesh of him that has the discharge shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.8 And if he that has the discharge spits upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.9 And whatsoever saddle which he rides upon that has the discharge shall be unclean.10 And whosoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening: and he that 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 discharge, 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 discharge, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water.13 And when he that has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge; 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 for him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of meeting, 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 the LORD for his discharge.16 And if any man's semen 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, on which is the semen, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.18 The woman also with whom man shall lie and have an emission of semen, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.19 And if a woman has a discharge, and her discharge in her flesh is blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever touches hershall be unclean until the evening.20 And everything that she lies upon in her impurity shall be unclean: everything 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 anything 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 anything on which 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 impurity is upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the beds on which he lies shall be unclean.25 And if a woman has a discharge of blood many days other than the time of her impurity, or if it runs beyond the time of her impurity; all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her impurity: she shall be unclean.26 Every bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge shall be unto her as the bed of her impurity: and whatsoever she sits upon shall be unclean, as in the uncleanness of her impurity.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 discharge, 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 turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting.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 the LORD for the discharge 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 that has a discharge, and of him who has an emission of semen, and is unclean thereby;33 And of her that is sick of her impurity, and of him that has a discharge, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lies with her who is unclean.
