such vessel, is unclean.

And every thing upon which such a carcase falleth shall be unclean, whether it be a furnace or a caldron, it shall be broken: for it is unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.

But the fountains, and the wells, and the ponds, are clean. But whosoever toucheth their carcase is unclean.

Though such a carcase fall upon seed which is sown, yet is it clean.

But if water be poured upon the seed, and such a carcase fall upon it afterward, it shall be unclean unto you.

If any beast die which ye may eat, whosoever toucheth the carcase shall be unclean until the even.

Whosoever eateth of such carcase shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. And whosoever eateth such carcase shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.

That which creepeth upon the earth shall be a reproach unto you, and it shall not be eaten.

And every thing that creepeth upon the belly, and every thing that walketh upon four feet, or upon more than four feet, among all that creep upon the earth, shall ye not eat: for it shall be a reproach unto you.

Make not your soul an abomination, neither defile yourselves in them, that ye should defile yourselves.

For I am the LORD your God. Therefore sanctify yourselves, that ye be holy: for I am holy: and defile not your souls in any creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

For I am the LORD that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. Therefore ye shall be holy; for I am holy.

This is the law of beasts, and of fowls, and of every creeping thing that creepeth in the water, and of every beast that creepeth upon the earth,

That ye might discern what is unclean and what is clean, and what beast to eat, and what beast not to eat.
(Leviticus)
Chapter 12
Order of the Kindbetterinnen.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman be smitten, and bring forth a kid, she shall be unclean seven days, as long as she suffereth her sickness.

And on the eighth day he shall circumcise the flesh of his foreskin.

And she shall abide in the blood of her purification thirty and three days. No holy thing shall
she touch, neither shall she come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification be ended.

And if she bear a damsel, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as long as she suffereth her sickness; and she shall abide sixty and six days in the blood of her cleansing.

And it shall come to pass, when the days of her purification are expired for the son, or for the daughter, that she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

He shall offer her before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be clean from her issue of blood. This is the law for her that bringeth forth a child or a maid.

And if her hand be not able to take one sheep, then she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
(Leviticus)
Chapter 13
Marks of leprosy on the people and clothes.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:

And if a man’s flesh be sore in the skin of his flesh, or become scabrous, or white with pus, as if a leprosy were in the skin of his flesh, he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons among the priests.

And if the priest see the mark in the skin of the flesh, and the hairs be turned white, and the appearance of the place be deeper than the other skin of his flesh, it is surely leprosy.
Therefore the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean.

And if there be any pus-white in the skin of his flesh, and the appearance be not deeper than the other skin of the flesh, and the hairs be not turned white, then the priest shall shut him up seven days.

And on the seventh day he looked. Is it that the mark remains as he saw it before, and has not eaten further at the skin,

And the priest shall shut him up again seven days. And when he shall examine him the seventh time in the seventh day, and find that the plague is gone, and that it hath not spread upon the skin, then he shall pronounce him clean: for it is scab. And he shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean.

But if the scab continue to eat in the skin, after it is seen of the priest, and is pronounced clean, and is seen of the priest another time;

And when the priest seeth that the scab hath eaten in the skin, he shall pronounce him unclean: for it is a leprosy.

If there be a plague of leprosy in a man, he shall be brought unto the priest.

When he looketh, and findeth that white is risen in the skin, and the hair is turned white, and raw flesh is in the sore,

It is surely an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh. Therefore the priest shall judge him unclean, and not shut him up: for he is unclean already.

And if the leprosy flourish in the skin, and cover the whole skin, from the head even unto the feet, all that may be before the priest’s eyes;

And when the priest shall examine him, and find that the leprosy hath covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean, because it is all turned white in him: for he is clean.

But if raw flesh be there in the daytime, when it is seen, it is unclean.

And if the priest examine the raw flesh, he shall pronounce him unclean: for he is unclean, and leprosy is surely there.

And if the raw flesh turn again, and be turned white, then he shall come unto the priest.

And if the priest examine, and find that the plague be turned white, he shall pronounce him clean: for he is clean.

If a gland be in the flesh of a man’s skin, and heal again,

after that in the same place any thing shall appear white, or reddish pus-white, it shall be seen
of the priest.

And if the priest see that the appearance be deeper than the skin, and that the hair be turned white; then he shall pronounce him unclean: for it is a plague of leprosy that is come out of the gland.

And if the priest see, and find that the hair is not white, and is not deeper than the other skin, and be gone, then he shall shut him up seven days.

If it eat any more in the skin, then he shall judge him unclean: for it is surely a plague of leprosy.

But if the white of the pus remain, and eat no more, it is the scar of the gland; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

When a man burneth his skin by the fire, and the brand is reddish, or white, 25. And if the priest examine him, and find the hair of the brand turned white, and the appearance thereof deeper than the skin thereof; then leprosy is surely of the brand.
Therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: for it is a plague of leprosy.

And if the priest see, and find that the hair of the brand is not changed into white, and is not deeper than the other skin, and be gone with it, he shall shut him up seven days.

And on the seventh day he shall examine him. And if it have eaten any more of the skin, then he shall pronounce him unclean: for it is a leprosy.

And if it be confessed in the burn, and be not eaten up in the skin, and be gone, then it is a sore of the burn. And the priest shall judge him clean: for it is a scar of the brand.

When a man or woman is shamed on the head or beard,

And if the priest examine the plague, and find that the appearance thereof is deeper than the other skin, and that the hair thereof is golden and thin, then he shall pronounce him unclean: for it is a leprous scall of the head, or of the beard.

And if the priest see that the scall is not deeper than the skin, and that the hair is not corrupt, he shall shut it up seven days.

And when he looketh on the seventh day, and findeth that the scab hath not eaten any more, neither is there any hair of gold, neither is the appearance of the scab deeper than the skin thereof,

And he shall cover himself, but he shall not cover the bark. And the priest shall shut him up again seven days.

And if he examine him on the seventh day, and find that the scab hath not spread in the skin, and that the appearance be not deeper than the other skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his clothes, because he is clean.

but the grind continues to eat at the skin after it is spoken clean, 36. And if the priest examine, and find that the scab hath eaten upon the skin, he shall inquire no more whether the hair be golden: for he is
