sprinkle upon the house seven times, and cleanse the house with the
blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living
bird, and with the cypress wood, and the hyssop, and the purple cloth.
And he shall let the living bird flee out of the town into the wild
fields, and so make an atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.
This is the law of all manner plague of leprosy and breaking out, and
of the leprosy of cloth and house: and of risings, scabs and glistering
white, to teach when a thing is unclean or clean. This is the law of
leprosy.
Chapter .xv.
And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron saying: Speak unto the children
of Israel and say unto them: every man that hath a running issue in his
flesh, is unclean by the reason of his issue. And hereby shall it be
known when he is unclean. If his flesh run, or if his flesh congeal by
the reason of his issue, then he is unclean. Every couch whereon he
lieth and every thing whereon he sitteth shall be unclean. He that
twicheth his couch, shall wash his clothes and bathe himself with
water, and be unclean until the even. He that sitteth on that whereon
he sat, shall wash his clothes and bathe himself with water and be
unclean until the evening. And he that twicheth his flesh shall wash
his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean unto the evening.
If any such spit upon him that is clean, he must wash his clothes and
bathe himself in water and be unclean until even. And whatsoever saddle
that he rideth upon, shall be unclean. And whosoever twicheth anything
that was under him, shall be unclean unto the evening. And he that
beareth any such things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
water and be unclean unto the even, and whosoever he twicheth (if he
have not first washed his hands in water) must wash his clothes, and
bathe himself in water, and be unclean unto the evening. And if he
twich a vessel of earth, it shall be broken: and all vessels of wood
shall be rinsed in the water. When he that hath an issue is cleansed of
his issue, let him number seven days after he is clean, and wash his
clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and then he is clean.
And the eighth day let him take two turtle doves or two young pigeons,
and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of witness,
and give them unto the priest. And the priest shall offer them: the one
for a sinoffering, and the other for a burntoffering: and make an
atonement for him before the LORD, as concerning his issue. If any
man's seed depart from him in his sleep, he shall wash his flesh in
water and be unclean until evening. And all the clothes or furs whereon
such seed chanceth shall be washed with water and be unclean unto the
evening. And if a woman lie with such a one, they shall wash them
selves with water and be unclean until even. When a woman's natural
course of blood runneth, she shall be put apart seven days: and
whosoever twicheth her shall be unclean unto the evening. And all that
