Leviticus 15:19-33

“‘When a woman has her monthly period, she is unclean for seven days. Anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening. Anything she lies on during this time will be unclean. Everything she sits on during that time will be unclean. Anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe in water. That person will be unclean until evening. Anyone who touches something she has sat on must wash his clothes and bathe in water. That person will be unclean until evening. It does not matter if the person touched the woman’s bed or something she sat on. That person will be unclean until evening. “‘A man might have physical relations with a woman during her monthly period. If he does, he will be unclean for seven days. Every bed he lies on will also be unclean. “‘A woman might have a loss of blood for many days. It may not be during her regular monthly period. Or she may continue to have a loss of blood after her regular period. If she does, she will be unclean, as she is during her monthly period. She will be unclean for as long as she continues to bleed. Any bed she lies on during all the time of her bleeding will be like her bed during her regular monthly period. Everything she sits on will be unclean. It will be like during her regular monthly period. “‘If anyone touches those things, that person will be unclean. He must wash his clothes and bathe in water. He will be unclean until evening. When the woman becomes clean from her bleeding, she must wait seven days. After this she will be clean. Then on the eighth day she must take two doves or two young pigeons. She must bring them to the priest at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. Then the priest must offer one bird for a sin offering. He must offer the other bird for a whole burnt offering. So the priest will make her clean so she can belong to the Lord again. “‘So you must warn the people of Israel to stay separated from things that make them unclean. If you don’t warn the people, they might make my Holy Tent unclean. And then they would have to die!’” These are the teachings for the man who discharges a body fluid. These are the teachings for men who become unclean from semen coming out of their bodies. These are the teachings for women who become unclean from their monthly period. These are the teachings for anyone who becomes unclean by having physical relations with another person who is unclean.
