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 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When any man has discharging out of his flesh a [genital] discharge, he is unclean.

3 And this will be his uncleanness in his discharge: whether his flesh runs his discharge, or his flesh be stopped from his discharge, he is unclean. All the days that his flesh runs his discharge or that his flesh withholds his discharge, it is his uncleanness.

4 Every bed on which he who has the discharge lies will be unclean; and everything on which he sits will be unclean.

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

6 And he who sits on anything on which he who has the discharge sat will 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 discharge will wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

8 And if he who has the discharge spits on him who is clean, then he will wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

9 And whatever saddle he who has the discharge rides on will be unclean.

10 And whoever touches anything that was under him will be unclean until the evening: and he who bears those things will wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

11 And whomever he who has the discharge touches, without having rinsed his hands in water, he will wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

12 And the earthen vessel, which he who has the discharge touches, will be broken; and every vessel of wood will be rinsed in water.

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

14 And on the eighth day he will take to himself two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before Yahweh to the door of the tent of meeting, and give them to the priest:

15 and the priest will offer them, the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering; and the priest will make atonement for him before Yahweh for his discharge.

16 And if any man's semen goes out from him, then he will bathe all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the evening.

17 And every garment, and every skin, on which is the semen, will be washed with water, and be unclean until the evening.

18 And if a woman will lie with a man, with an emission of semen, they will both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the evening.

19 And if a woman has a [genital] discharge, [and] her discharge in her flesh is blood, she will be in her impurity seven days: and whoever touches her will be unclean until the evening.

20 And everything that she lies on in her impurity will be unclean: everything also that she sits on will be unclean.

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

22 And whoever touches anything that she sits on will wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening.

23 And if it is on the bed, or on anything on which she sits, when he touches it, he will be unclean until the evening.

24 And if any man lies with her, and her impurity is on him, he will be unclean seven days; and every bed on which he lies will be unclean.

25 And if a woman has a discharge of her blood many days not in the time of her impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her impurity; all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness she will be as in the days of her impurity: she is unclean.

26 Every bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge will be to her as the bed of her impurity: and everything on which she sits will be unclean, as the uncleanness of her impurity.

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

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

29 And on the eighth day she will take to herself two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and bring them to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting.

30 And the priest will offer the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering; and the priest will make atonement for her before Yahweh for the discharge of her uncleanness.

31 Thus you{+} will separate the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, that they will not die in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is in the midst of them.

32 This is the law of him who has a discharge, and of him whose semen goes from him, so that he is unclean by it;

33 and of her in her menstrual impurity, and of him who has a discharge, of the man, and of the woman, and of him who lies with her who is unclean.
