Leviticus 15: Orgasm

Editor's Note: The following is excerpted from the instructions given by Moses to initiates of his tradition, upon which are based Judaism and Christianity. Careful examination of the translation made of the Hebrew text into Latin reveals many interesting details long since forgotten by the established religions. We provide for your consideration a translation made from Hebrew, and then the Latin / English.

It is important to note that most modern religious groups disregard these passages and claim a variety of justifications for their point of view. Christians in particular often claim that Jesus brought a new covenant, yet they ignore his words about his teachings: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."

Leviticus [ ויקרא / Vayikra] 15 from Hebrew

15:1 God spoke to Moses and Aaron, telling them

15:2 to speak to the Israelites and tell them [as follows]: When a man has a discharge [orgasm] from his sexual organ, this discharge renders him unclean.

15:3 He becomes unclean through a discharge if his organ dribbles with the discharge or if he has [some of it] stuck to his organ. This makes him unclean [so that]

15:4 any bed upon which the man with the discharge lies is unclean, and any object upon which he sits is [also] unclean.

15:5 Any person who touches [the man's] bed must immerse his clothing and his body in a mikvah [ritual bath or baptism; esoterically, transmutation] and [then] remain unclean until evening.

15:6 [Similarly,] anyone who sits on an object upon which the man with a discharge has been sitting must [also] immerse his clothing and his body in a mikvah, and [then] remain unclean until evening.

15:7 If anyone touches the body of the person with the discharge, he must [similarly] immerse his clothing and his body, and [then] remain unclean until evening.

15:8 If the saliva of the man with a discharge comes in contact with a ritually clean person, [the latter] must immerse his clothing and his body, and [then] remain unclean until evening.

15:9 Every saddle upon which the person with the discharge rides shall be unclean.

15:10 [Thus] anyone who touches something that has been under [the man with a discharge] shall be unclean until evening. One who lifts [such an object] must immerse both his clothing and his body, and [then] remain unclean until evening.

15:11 If anyone touches a man with a discharge who has not immersed [even] his hands in a mikvah, then [that person] must immerse his clothing and his body in a mikvah, and [then] remain unclean until evening.

15:12 If the man with a discharge touches the inside of a clay vessel, it must be broken. If it is a wooden vessel, it must be immersed in a mikvah.

15:13 When the man is healed of his discharge, he must count seven days [a symbol of initiation] for his purification. He shall then immerse his clothing and his body in a mikvah of living water. [The living water spoken of by Jesus]

15:14 On the eighth day, he shall take two turtle doves or two young common doves, and coming before God to the Communion Tent entrance, he shall give them to the priest.

15:15 The priest shall prepare one [bird] as a sin offering, and one as a burnt offering. The priest shall thus make atonement before God for the person, [thus purifying him] of his discharge.

Seminal Discharges

15:16 When a man discharges semen, he must immerse his entire body in a mikvah [ritual bath: transmutation practice], and [then] remain unclean until evening.

15:17 If any cloth or leather gets any semen on it, it must be immersed in a mikvah and [then] remain unclean until evening.

15:18 If a woman has intercourse with a man, and he has a seminal discharge, [both of] them shall immerse in a mikvah and [then] remain unclean until evening.

Menstruation

15:19 When a woman has a discharge, [it can consist] of [any] blood that emerges from her body. For seven days she is then [ritually unclean] because of her menstruation, and anyone touching her shall be unclean until evening.

15:20 As long as she is in her menstrual state, anything upon which she lies shall be unclean, and anyone sitting on it is [likewise] unclean.

15:21 Whoever touches her bed must immerse his clothing and his body in a mikvah, and [then] remain unclean until evening.

15:22 [Similarly], anyone who sits on any article upon which she has sat must immerse his clothing and his body in a mikvah and [then] remain unclean until evening.

15:23 Thus, if he is on the bed or any other article upon which she sat, whether he touches it [or not], he is unclean until evening.

15:24 If a man has intercourse with [such a woman], her menstrual impurity is transferred to him, and he shall be unclean for seven days. Any bed upon which he lies shall be unclean.

Female Discharges

15:25 If a woman has a discharge of blood for a number of days when it is not time for her menstrual period, or if she has such a discharge right after her period, then as long as she has this discharge she is unclean, just as she is when she has her period.

15:26 [Thus], as long as she has the discharge, any bed upon which she lies shall have the same status as it has while she is menstruating. Similarly, any article upon which she sits shall be unclean, just as it is unclean when she is menstruating.

15:27 Anyone touching [these articles] must [similarly] immerse his clothing and his body in a mikvah, and [then] remain unclean until evening.

15:28 When [the woman] is rid of her discharge, she must count seven days for herself, and only then can she undergo purification.

15:29 On the eighth day, she shall take for herself two turtle doves or two young common doves, and bring them to the priest, to the Communion Tent entrance.

15:30 The priest shall prepare one as a sin offering and one as a burnt offering, and the priest shall thus make atonement for her before God, [purifying her] from her unclean discharge.

15:31 You [Moses and Aaron] must warn the Israelites about their impurity, so that their impurity not cause them to die if they defile the tabernacle that I have placed among them.

15:32 This then is the [entire] law concerning the man who is unclean because of a discharge or seminal emission,

15:33 as well as the woman who has her monthly period, the man or woman who has a [genital] discharge, and the man who lies with a ritually unclean woman.

In Latin

locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron dicens
loquimini filiis Israhel et dicite eis vir qui patitur fluxum seminis inmundus erit
et tunc iudicabitur huic vitio subiacere cum per momenta singula adheserit carni illius atque concreverit foedus humor
omne stratum in quo dormierit inmundum erit et ubicumque sederit
si quis hominum tetigerit lectum eius lavabit vestimenta sua et ipse lotus aqua inmundus erit usque ad vesperum
si sederit ubi ille sederat et ipse lavabit vestimenta sua et lotus aqua inmundus erit usque ad vesperum
qui tetigerit carnem eius lavabit vestimenta sua et ipse lotus aqua inmundus erit usque ad vesperum
si salivam huiuscemodi homo iecerit super eum qui mundus est lavabit vestem suam et lotus aqua inmundus erit usque ad vesperum
sagma super quo sederit inmundum erit
et quicquid sub eo fuerit qui fluxum seminis patitur pollutum erit usque ad vesperum qui portaverit horum aliquid lavabit vestem suam et ipse lotus aqua inmundus erit usque ad vesperum
omnis quem tetigerit qui talis est non lotis ante manibus lavabit vestimenta sua et lotus aqua inmundus erit usque ad vesperum
vas fictile quod tetigerit confringetur vas autem ligneum lavabitur aqua
si sanatus fuerit qui huiuscemodi sustinet passionem numerabit septem dies post emundationem sui et lotis vestibus ac toto corpore in aquis viventibus erit mundus
die autem octavo sumet duos turtures aut duos pullos columbae et veniet in conspectu Domini ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii dabitque eos sacerdoti
qui faciet unum pro peccato et alterum in holocaustum rogabitque pro eo coram Domino ut emundetur a fluxu seminis sui
vir de quo egreditur semen coitus lavabit aqua omne corpus suum et inmundus erit usque ad vesperum
vestem et pellem quam habuerit lavabit aqua et inmunda erit usque ad vesperum
mulier cum qua coierit lavabitur aqua et inmunda erit usque ad vesperum
mulier quae redeunte mense patitur fluxum sanguinis septem diebus separabitur
omnis qui tetigerit eam inmundus erit usque ad vesperum
et in quo dormierit vel sederit diebus separationis suae polluetur
qui tetigerit lectum eius lavabit vestimenta sua et ipse lotus aqua inmundus erit usque ad vesperum
omne vas super quo illa sederit quisquis adtigerit lavabit vestimenta sua et lotus aqua pollutus erit usque ad vesperum
si coierit cum ea vir tempore sanguinis menstrualis inmundus erit septem diebus et omne stratum in quo dormierit polluetur
mulier quae patitur multis diebus fluxum sanguinis non in tempore menstruali vel quae post menstruum sanguinem fluere non cessat quamdiu huic subiacet passioni inmunda erit quasi sit in tempore menstruo
omne stratum in quo dormierit et vas in quo sederit pollutum erit
quicumque tetigerit eam lavabit vestimenta sua et ipse lotus aqua inmundus erit usque ad vesperum
si steterit sanguis et fluere cessarit numerabit septem dies purificationis suae
et octavo die offeret pro se sacerdoti duos turtures vel duos pullos columbae ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii
qui unum faciet pro peccato et alterum in holocaustum rogabitque pro ea coram Domino et pro fluxu inmunditiae eius
docebitis ergo filios Israhel ut caveant inmunditiam et non moriantur in sordibus suis cum polluerint tabernaculum meum quod est inter eos
ista est lex eius qui patitur fluxum seminis et qui polluitur coitu
et quae menstruis temporibus separatur vel quae iugi fluit sanguine et hominis qui dormierit cum ea
