Cleansing Unhealthiness

1 The LORD° also spoke° to Moses° and to Aaron°, saying°, 2 “Speak° to the sons° of Israel°, and say° to them, ‘aWhen° any° man° has° a discharge° from his Ibody°, IIhis discharge° is unclean°. 3 This°, moreover, shall be his uncleanness° in his discharge°: it is his uncleanness° whether his body° allows its discharge° to flow° or° whether his body° obstructs° its discharge°. 4 Every° bed° on which° the person° with the discharge° lies° becomes° unclean°, and everything°° on which° he sits° becomes° unclean°. 5 Anyone°, moreover, who° touches° his bed° shall wash° his clothes° and bathe° in water° and be unclean° until° evening°; 6 and whoever sits° on the thing° on which° the man with the discharge° has been sitting°, shall wash° his clothes° and bathe° in water° and be unclean° until° evening°. 7 Also whoever touches° the Iperson° with the discharge° shall wash° his clothes° and bathe° in water° and be unclean° until° evening°. 8 Or if° the man with the discharge° spits° on one who° is clean°, he too shall wash° his clothes° and bathe° in water° and be unclean° until° evening°. 9 Every° saddle° on which° the person with the discharge° rides° becomes° unclean°. 10 Whoever° then touches° any° of the things which° were under° him shall be unclean° until° evening°, and he who carries° them shall wash° his clothes° and bathe° in water° and be unclean° until° evening°. 11 Likewise, whomever°° the one with the discharge° touches° without° having rinsed° his hands° in water° shall wash° his clothes° and bathe° in water° and be unclean° until° evening°. 12 However, an aearthenware° vessel° which° the person with the discharge° touches° shall be broken°, and every° wooden° vessel° shall be rinsed° in water°.
