Suppose someone touches something“ unclean.” It does not matter whether it comes from a human being who is not“ clean.” It does not matter whether it comes from an“ unclean” animal. It does not matter whether it comes from something hated and“ unclean.” And suppose they eat any of the meat from the friendship offering that belongs to the Lord. Then they will be separated from their people.’ ”

Anyone who touches something unclean— whether human uncleanness or an unclean animal or any unclean creature that moves along the ground— and then eats any of the meat of the fellowship offering belonging to the Lord must be cut off from their people.’”

And if anyone touches an unclean thing, whether human uncleanness or an unclean beast or any unclean detestable creature, and then eats some flesh from the sacrifice of the Lord’s peace offerings, that person shall be cut off from his people.”

If you touch anything that is unclean( whether it is human defilement or an unclean animal or any other unclean, detestable thing) and then eat meat from a peace offering presented to the Lord, you will be cut off from the community.”

If someone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, abhorrent creature, and eats meat from the LORD’s fellowship sacrifice, that person is to be cut off from his people.”

When anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or any unclean detestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the Lord, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

Moreover the person who touches any unclean thing, such as human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any abominable unclean thing, and who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord, that person shall be cut off from his people.’”

Then I said,“ No, Lord and King! I won’t do this! I’ve never eaten anything‘ unclean.’ From the time I was young until now, I’ve never eaten anything that was found dead. And I’ve never eaten anything torn apart by wild animals.‘ Unclean’ meat has never entered my mouth.”

“‘ Or suppose someone touches something not“ clean.” It could be the dead bodies of wild animals or of livestock. Or it could be the dead bodies of creatures that move along the ground. Even though those people are not aware that they touched them, they have become“ unclean.” And they are guilty.Or suppose they touch something“ unclean” that comes from a human being. It could be anything that would make them“ unclean.” Suppose they are not aware that they touched it. When they find out about it, they will be guilty.

The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,“ Speak to the Israelites. Tell them,‘ Suppose liquid waste is flowing out of a man’s body. That liquid is not“ clean.”It does not matter whether it continues to flow out of his body or is blocked. It will make him“ unclean.” Here is how his liquid body waste will make him“ unclean.”“‘ Any bed the man who has the flow of liquid body waste lies on will be“ unclean.” Anything he sits on will be“ unclean.”Anyone who touches the man’s bed must wash their clothes. They must take a bath. They will be“ unclean” until evening.Suppose someone sits on something the man sat on. Then they must wash their clothes. They must take a bath.

There he must give the birds to the priest.The priest must sacrifice them. One is for a sin offering. The other is for a burnt offering. In that way the priest will pay for the man’s sin in the sight of the Lord. He will do it because the man had a liquid flow.“‘ Suppose semen flows from a man’s body. Then he must wash his whole body with water. He will be“ unclean” until evening.Suppose clothes or leather have semen on them. Then they must be washed with water.

If anyone touches it, they will be“ unclean” until evening.“‘ Suppose a man sleeps with that woman. And suppose blood from her monthly period touches him. Then he will be“ unclean” for seven days. Any bed he lies on will be“ unclean.”“‘ Suppose blood flows from a woman’s body for many days. And it happens at a time other than her monthly period. Or blood keeps flowing after her period is over. Then she will be“ unclean” as long as the blood continues to flow. She will be“ unclean,” just as she is during the days of her period.Any bed she lies on while her blood continues to flow will be“ unclean.” It is the same as it is when she is having her period.

It is in the middle of the camp.’ ”These are the rules for a man who has liquid waste flowing out of his body. They apply to a man made“ unclean” by semen that flows from his body.They apply to a woman having her monthly period. They apply to a man or woman who has a liquid flow. And they apply to a man who sleeps with a woman who is“ unclean.”

Treat as“ unclean” all the creatures in the oceans or streams that do not have fins and scales. That includes all those that move together in groups and all those that do not.Treat them as“ unclean.” Do not eat their meat. Treat their dead bodies as“ unclean.”Regard as“ unclean” everything that lives in the water that does not have fins and scales.“‘ Here are the birds you must treat as“ unclean.” Do not eat them because they are“ unclean.” The birds include eagles, vultures and black vultures.

The Lord spoke to Moses. He said,“ Speak to the Israelites. Tell them,‘ Suppose a woman becomes pregnant and has a baby boy. Then she will be“ unclean” for seven days. It is the same as when she is“ unclean” during her monthly period.On the eighth day the boy must be circumcised.After that, the woman must wait for 33 days to be made pure from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred until the 33 days are over. During that time she must not go to the sacred tent.But suppose she has a baby girl. Then she will be“ unclean” for two weeks. It is the same as during her period. After the two weeks, she must wait for 66 days to be made pure from her bleeding.“‘ After she has waited the required number of days to be made pure, she must bring two offerings. She must take them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting. She must bring a lamb a year old for a burnt offering. She must also bring a young pigeon or a dove for a sin offering.The priest must offer them to the Lord. They will pay for her sin.

One is for a burnt offering. The other is for a sin offering. The priest will sacrifice those offerings. That will pay for her sin. And she will be“ clean.” ’ ”The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. He told them to say to the people,“ Suppose someone’s skin has a swelling or a rash or a shiny spot. And suppose it could become a skin disease. Then they must be brought to the priest Aaron. Or they must be brought to a priest in Aaron’s family line.The priest must look carefully at the sore on the person’s skin. He must see whether the hair in the sore has turned white. He must also see whether the sore seems to be under the skin. If the sore is white and is under the skin, it is a skin disease. When the priest looks that person over carefully, he must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’Suppose the shiny spot on the skin is white but does not seem to be under the skin. And suppose the hair in the spot has not turned white. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for seven days.On the seventh day the priest must look carefully at the sore again. Suppose it has not changed and has not spread in the skin. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for another seven days.On the seventh day the priest must look carefully at the sore again. If it has faded and has not spread, he must announce that the person is‘ clean.’ It is only a rash. That person must wash their clothes. They will be‘ clean.’But suppose the rash spreads in the skin after they have shown themselves to the priest a second time. Then they must appear in front of the priest again.The priest must look carefully at the sore. If the rash has spread, he must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ They have a skin disease.“ When anyone has a skin disease, they must be brought to the priest.The priest must look them over carefully. Suppose there is a white swelling in the skin. Suppose it has turned the hair white. And suppose there are open sores in the swelling.Then the person has a skin disease that will never go away. The priest must announce that they are‘ unclean.’ The priest must not make them stay away from everyone else. They are already‘ unclean.’“ Suppose the disease breaks out all over their skin. And suppose it covers them from head to foot, as far as the priest can tell.Then the priest must look them over carefully. If the disease has covered their whole body, the priest must announce that they are‘ clean.’ All their skin has turned white. So they are‘ clean.’But when open sores appear on their skin, they will not be‘ clean.’When the priest sees the open sores, he must announce that they are‘ unclean.’ The open sores are not‘ clean.’ They have a skin disease.But if the open sores change and turn white, they must go to the priest.The priest must look them over carefully. If the sores have turned white, the priest must announce that the person is‘ clean.’ Then they will be‘ clean.’“ Suppose someone has a boil on their skin and it heals.And suppose a white swelling or shiny pink spot appears where the boil was. Then they must show themselves to the priest.The priest must look at the boil carefully. Suppose it seems to be under the skin. And suppose the hair in it has turned white. Then the priest must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ A skin disease has broken out where the boil was.But suppose that when the priest looks at the boil carefully, there is no white hair in it. The boil is not under the skin. And it has faded. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for seven days.If the boil is spreading in the skin, the priest must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ They have a skin disease.But suppose the spot has not changed. And suppose it has not spread. Then it is only a scar from the boil. And the priest must announce that the person is‘ clean.’“ Suppose someone has a burn on their skin. And suppose a white or shiny pink spot shows up in the open sores of the burn.Then the priest must look at the spot carefully. Suppose the hair in it has turned white.

The priest must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ They have a skin disease.But suppose the priest looks at the spot carefully. Suppose there is no white hair in it. Suppose the spot is not under the skin. And suppose it has faded. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for seven days.On the seventh day the priest must look them over carefully. If the spot is spreading in the skin, the priest must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ They have a skin disease.But suppose the spot has not changed. It has not spread in the skin. And it has faded. Then the burn has caused it to swell. The priest must announce that the person is‘ clean.’ It is only a scar from the burn.“ Suppose a man or woman has a sore on their head or chin.Then the priest must look at the sore carefully. Suppose it seems to be under the skin. And suppose the hair in the sore is yellow and thin. Then the priest must announce that the person is‘ unclean.’ The sore is a skin disease on the head or chin.But suppose the priest looks carefully at the sore. It does not seem to be under the skin. And there is no black hair in it. Then the priest must make the person stay away from everyone else for seven days.On the seventh day the priest must look at the sore carefully. Suppose it has not spread in the skin. It does not have any yellow hair in it. And it does not seem to be under the skin.Then the man or woman must shave their head. But they must not shave the area where the disease is. And the priest must make them stay away from everyone else for another seven days.On the seventh day the priest must look at the sore carefully. Suppose it has not spread in the skin. And suppose it does not seem to be under the skin. Then the priest must announce that the person is‘ clean.’ They must wash their clothes.

Then the person is healed and is‘ clean.’ The priest must announce that they are‘ clean.’“ Suppose a man or woman has white spots on the skin.Then the priest must look at them carefully. Suppose he sees that the spots are dull white. Then a harmless rash has broken out on the skin. That person is‘ clean.’“ Suppose a man loses all the hair on his head. Then he is‘ clean.’Suppose he loses only the hair on the front of his head. Then he is‘ clean.’But suppose he has a shiny pink sore on his head where his hair was. Then he has a skin disease. It is breaking out on his whole head or on the front of his head.The priest must look him over carefully. Suppose the swollen sore on his head or on the front of it is pink and shiny. And suppose it looks like a skin disease.Then he has a skin disease. He is‘ unclean.’ The priest must announce that the man is‘ unclean.’ That’s because he has a sore on his head.“ Suppose someone has a skin disease that makes them‘ unclean.’ Then they must wear torn clothes. They must let their hair hang loose. They must cover the lower part of their face. They must cry out,‘ Unclean! Unclean!’As long as they have the disease, they remain‘ unclean.’ They must live alone. They must live outside the camp.“ Suppose some clothes have mold on them. The clothes could be made out of wool or linen.Or there could be cloth woven or knitted out of linen or wool. There could be pieces of leather. Or there could be things that are made out of leather.And suppose the mold on the clothes or on the woven or knitted cloth looks green or red. Or suppose the green or red mold is on the pieces of leather or the leather goods. Then it is mold that spreads. It must be shown to the priest.The priest must look at it carefully. He must keep the thing with the mold on it away from everything else for seven days.On the seventh day he must look at it carefully. Suppose the mold has spread in the clothes or in the woven or knitted cloth. Or suppose it has spread on the pieces of leather or on the leather goods. Then it is mold that destroys. The thing is‘ unclean.’The priest must burn everything with the mold in it. He must burn the clothes or the woven or knitted cloth made out of wool or linen. He must burn the leather goods. The mold destroys. So everything must be burned.“ But suppose the priest looks at the thing carefully. The mold has not spread in the clothes. And it has not spread in the woven or knitted cloth or in the leather goods.Then he will order someone to wash the thing with the mold on it. After that, the priest must keep that thing away from everything else for another seven days.After the thing with the mold on it has been washed, the priest must look at it again carefully. Suppose the way the mold looks has not changed. Then even though the mold has not spread, it is‘ unclean.’ Burn it. It does not matter which side of the thing the mold is on.But suppose the priest looks at it carefully. And suppose the mold has faded after the thing has been washed. Then the priest must tear out the part with mold on it. He must tear it out of the clothes or leather. He must tear it out of the woven or knitted cloth.But suppose it shows up again in the clothes. Or suppose it shows up again in the woven or knitted cloth or in the leather goods. Then it is spreading. Everything with the mold on it must be burned.The clothes that have been washed and do not have any more mold on them must be washed again. So must the woven or knitted cloth or the leather goods. Then they will be‘ clean.’ ”These are the rules about what to do with anything with mold on it. They apply to clothes that are made out of wool or linen. They apply to woven and knitted cloth and to leather goods. They give a priest directions about when to announce whether something is“ clean” or“ unclean.”

Some animals only chew the cud. Others only have a divided hoof. The camel, rabbit and rock badger chew the cud, but they don’t have a divided hoof. So you can’t eat them. They are not“ clean” for you.Pigs aren’t“ clean” for you either. They have a divided hoof, but they don’t chew the cud. So don’t eat their meat. And don’t touch their dead bodies.

“ Anyone who touches a dead person’s body will be‘ unclean’ for seven days.They must make themselves pure and‘ clean’ with the special water. They must do it on the third day.
