¶ The maner of purgynge the vnclennes bothe of men and women.
CAPI. XV.
[ A] ANd the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron, sayinge: Speake vnto the chil∣drē of Israel, and say vnto them: euery man that hath a runnynge yssue in his flesshe, is vncleane by reason of his yssue. And hereby shall it be knowen when he is vncleane. Yf his flesshe runne, or yf his flesshe congele by the reason of his yssue, then he is vncleane. Euerye couche wheron he lyeth, and euerye thynge wheron he sytteth shall be vncleane. He that toucheth his couche shall wasshe his clothes, and hath him selfe with water, and be vnclene tyll the euen.
He that sytteth on that wheron he sate, shall shasshe his clothes, and bathe him selfe with water, and be vncleane vntyll the eue∣nynge. And he that toucheth his flesshe, shall wasshe his clothes, and bathe hym selfe in wa¦ter, and be vncleane vnto the euen. Yf any suche spyt vpon hym that is cleane, he muste wasshe his clothes, and bathe him selfe in wa¦ter [ B] and be vnclene vntyll euen.
And what so euer sadel that he rideth vpon shall be vncleane. And who so euer toucheth any thynge that was vnder hym, shal be vn∣clene vnto the euen. And he that beareth any suche thynges, shall wasshe his clothes, and bathe hym selfe in water, and be vncleane vn∣to the euen: and what so euer he toucheth (yf he haue not fyrste wasshed his handes in wa∣ter) must wasshe his clothes, and bathe hym selfe in water, and be vncleane vnto the eue∣nynge. And yf he touche a vessell of erth, it shall be broken: and all vessels of wod, shall be rynsed in water.
When he that hath an yssue is clensed of his yssue, let hym nombre seuen dayes after he is cleane, and wasshe his clothes, and bathe his flesshe in runnynge water, and then he is cleane. And the eyght daye lette hym take two turtle doues, or two yonge pygy∣ons, and come before the Lorde vnto the dore of the tabernacle of wytnesse, and gyue them vnto the Preeste. And the Preeste shall offre them: the one for a synne offerynge, and the other for a burntofferynge: and make an at∣tonement for hym before the Lorde concer∣nynge his yssue.
Yf any mans seed departe frome him in his slepe, he shall wasshe his flesshe in water, and be vncleane vntyll euen. And all the clothes or furres wheron suche sede chaunceth, shall be wasshed with water, and be vncleane vnto the euen. And yf a woman lye with suche per∣son, they shall wasshe them selues with wa∣ter, and be vncleane tyll euen. [ C]
When a womans naturall course of bloud runneth, she shall be put aparte seuen dayes: and who so euer toucheth her, shall be vnclene vnto the euen. And all that she lyeth or syt∣teth vpon as longe as she is put aparte, shall be vncleane. And who so euer toucheth her couche, shall wasshe his clothes, and hath him selfe with water, & be vnclene vnto the euen. And who so euer toucheth any thyng that she sate vpon, shal wasshe his clothes, and wasshe hym selfe also in water, and be vncleane vnto the euen: so that whether he touch her couche or any thynge wheron she hath sytten, he shal be vncleane vnto the euen: and yf a man lye with her in the meane tyme, he shall be put aparte as well as she, and shall be vncleane seuen dayes, and all his couche wherin he sle∣peth shall be vncleane.
When a womans bloude runneth longe [ D] tyme, beyonde the tyme of her natural course: as longe as her vnclennesse runneth, she shall be vncleane, after the maner as when she is put aparte. All her couches wheron she ly∣eth (as longe as her yssue lasteth) shall be vn∣to her as her couche, when she is put aparte. And what so euer she sytteth vpon, shall be vncleane as is her vnclennesse when she is put aparte. And who so euer toucheth them, shall be vncleane, and shall wasshe his clothes, and bathe him selfe in water, and be vncleane vn∣to euen.
But yf she be cleane of her yssue, lette hee count her seuen dayes, after that she is clene. And the eyght daye let her take two turtles or two yonge pygyons and brynge them vnto
