THE LAW OF THE PLAGUE

When a man has an issue out of his flesh
because of that issue he is unclean.

Every bed whereon he lieth is unclean
and everything whereon he sitteth, unclean

And whosoever toucheth his bed shall be unclean
and he that sitteth whereon he sat shall be unclean

And he who toucheth the flesh of the unclean
becomes unclean

And he beareth any of these things
shall be unclean

And whatever saddle he riddeth upon is unclean
and the vessel of earth that he toucheth unclean

And if any mans seed of copulation go out from him
he is unclean
Every garment, every skin whereon is the seed unclean

And the woman with whom the man shall lie will be unclean
and whosoever toucheth her will be unclean

This is the law of the plague
To teach when it is clean and when it is unclean

And the priest shall look upon the plague
for a rising and for a scab, and for a bright spot

And the priest shall shut up he that hath the plague
He shall carry them forth to a place unclean
He shall separate them in their uncleaness

This is the law of the plague
to teach when it is clean and when it is unclean.
