man has a discharge from his body, because of his discharge he is

discharge, it is his uncleanness.

two young pigeons, and come before Yahweh to the door of the Tent of
Meeting, and give them to the priest:

him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed whereon he lies
shall be unclean.

in the time of her period, or if she has a discharge beyond the time
of her period; all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness shall
be as in the days of her period: she is unclean.

be to her as the bed of her period: and everything whereon she sits
shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her period.

his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the
evening.

their uncleanness, so they will not die in their uncleanness, when
they defile my tabernacle that is in their midst.' "

an emission of semen, so that he is unclean thereby;

15:33 and of her who has her period, and of a man or woman who has a
discharge, and of him who lies with her who is unclean.
Lev
16:1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of
Aaron, when they drew near before Yahweh, and died;
Lev
16:2 and Yahweh said to Moses, "Tell Aaron your brother, not to
come at all times into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before
the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die: for I will appear in
the cloud on the mercy seat.

shall be dressed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments.

altar before Yahweh, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small,
and bring it within the veil:

the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the
testimony, so that he will not die.

with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy
seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his
blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the
mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:

16:16 and he shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the

and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel,
and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put
them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the
