1 The lord said to Moses and Aaron,
2 “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel.“Any man who has a bodily discharge is ceremonially unclean.
3 This defilement is caused by his discharge, whether the discharge continues or stops. In either case the man is unclean.
4 Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies and anything on which he sits will be ceremonially unclean.
5 So if you touch the man’s bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.
