The Uncleanness of Men
(Deuteronomy 23:9–14)

1And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses and Aaron, saying: 2Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: Whosoeuer hath a runnyng issue out of his fleshe, is vncleane by reason of that issue. 3And this shalbe his vncleannesse in his issue: if his fleshe runne, or yf his fleshe be stopped from his issue, then it is vncleannesse. 4Euery bed wheron he lyeth that hath the issue, is vncleane: and euery thyng wheron he sitteth, is vncleane. 5Whosoeuer toucheth his bed, shall washe his clothes and bath hymselfe in water, and be vncleane vntyll the euen. 6And he that sitteth on any thing wheron he sat that hath the issue, shal washe his clothes, and bath him selfe in water, and be vncleane vntyll the euenyng. 7He that toucheth the fleshe of him that hath the issue, shall washe his clothes, and bathe hym selfe in water, and be vncleane vntyll the euen. 8If he also that hath the issue, spyt vpon hym that is cleane, he shall washe his clothes, and bath himselfe in water, and be vncleane vntyll the euen. 9And what saddle soeuer he rydeth vpon that hath ye issue, shalbe vncleane. 10And whosoeuer toucheth any thyng that was vnder hym, shalbe vncleane vnto the euen: And he that beareth any such thynges shall washe his clothes, and bathe hym selfe in water, and be vncleane vntyll the euen. 11And whosoeuer he toucheth that hath the issue, and haue not wasshed his handes in water, shall washe his clothes and bathe hym selfe in water, and be vncleane vntyll the euen. 12The vessell of earth that he toucheth which hath the issue, shalbe broken: and all vessels of wood shalbe rensed in water.

The Cleansing of Men

13When he also that hath any issue, is clensed of his issue, he shall number him seuen dayes for his clensyng, and washe his clothes, and bathe his fleshe in runnyng water, and so shall he be cleane. 14And the eyght day he shall take to hym two turtle doues, or two young pigeons, and come before the Lorde vnto the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation, & geue them vnto the priest. 15And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sinne offeryng, and the other for a burnt offeryng: and the priest shall make an attonement for hym before the Lorde, as concernyng his issue.

16If any mans seede depart fro hym in his sleepe, he shall washe all his fleshe in water, and be vncleane vntyll ye euen. 17And euery garment, and euery skinne wherin is such seede of sleepe, shalbe wasshed with water, and be vncleane vntyll the euen. 18And if he yt hath such an issue of seede, do lye with a woman, they shall both washe them selues with water, and be vncleane vntyll the euen.

The Uncleanness of Women

19Also yf a woman shall haue an issue, and her issue in her fleshe shalbe blood, she shalbe put apart seuen dayes: whosoeuer toucheth her, shalbe vncleane vntyll the euen. 20And all that she lyeth vpon in ye tyme of her seperation, shalbe vncleane: lyke as euery thing also that she sitteth vpon, is vncleane. 21Whosoeuer toucheth her bed, shall washe his clothes, and bathe hym selfe with water, and be vncleane vntyll the euen. 22And whosoeuer toucheth any thyng that she sat vpon, shall washe his clothes, and bathe hym selfe in water, and be vncleane vntyll the euen. 23So that whether he touche her bed, or any vessell wheron she hath sytten, he shalbe vncleane vntyll the euenyng. 24And yf a man lye with her, and her seperation come vpon hym, he shalbe vncleane seuen dayes: and all the bedde wheron he lyeth shalbe vncleane.

25Also if a woman haue an issue of her blood many dayes, out of the tyme of her seperation, or if it runne beyond her seperation, let all the dayes of the issue of her vncleanenesse, be euen as ye dayes of her seperation, for she is vncleane. 26Euery bedde whereon she lyeth as long as her issue lasteth, shalbe vnto her as the bedde of her seperation: and whatsoeuer she sitteth vpon shalbe vncleane, as the vncleanenesse of her seperation. 27And whosoeuer toucheth any of these shalbe vncleane, and shall washe his clothes, and bathe hym selfe in water, and be vncleane vntyll the euen.

The Cleansing of Women

28But if she be cleansed of her issue, she shall count her seuen dayes: and after that, she shalbe cleane. 29And in the eyght day, she shall take vnto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bryng them vnto the priest, before the doore of the tabernacle of the congregation. 30And the priest shall offer the one for a sinne offeryng, and the other for a burnt offeryng, and make an attonement for her before the Lord, as concernyng the issue of her vncleanenesse.

31Thus shall ye syft the chyldren of Israel from their vncleanenesse, that they dye not in their vncleanenesse: if they defyle my tabernacle that is among the. 32This is the lawe of hym that hath an issue, and of hym whose seede runneth from hym in his sleepe, and is defyled therin: 33Also of her that for her seperation is put apart, & of whosoeuer hath a runnyng issue, whether it be man or woman, and of hym that lyeth with her which is vncleane.
