In this way he will make atonement before the Lord for the man because of his discharge.“‘ When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean till evening.Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed with water, and it will be unclean till evening.When a man has sexual relations with a woman and there is an emission of semen, both of them must bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.“‘ When a woman has her regular flow of blood, the impurity of her monthly period will last seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean till evening.“‘ Anything she lies on during her period will be unclean, and anything she sits on will be unclean.Anyone who touches her bed will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.Anyone who touches anything she sits on will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.Whether it is the bed or anything she was sitting on, when anyone touches it, they will be unclean till evening.“‘ If a man has sexual relations with her and her monthly flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days; any bed he lies on will be unclean.“‘ When a woman has a discharge of blood for many days at a time other than her monthly period or has a discharge that continues beyond her period, she will be unclean as long as she has the discharge, just as in the days of her period.Any bed she lies on while her discharge continues will be unclean, as is her bed during her monthly period, and anything she sits on will be unclean, as during her period.Anyone who touches them will be unclean; they must wash their clothes and bathe with water, and they will be unclean till evening.
