Leviticus 15:28-33

28 When the woman is cleansed of her discharge, she will count off seven days; after that, she will be clean again.
29 On the eighth day she will take two turtledoves or two pigeons and bring them to the priest at the meeting tent's entrance.
30 The priest will perform a purification offering with one and an entirely burned offering with the other. In this way, the priest will make reconciliation for her before the LORD because of her unclean discharge.
31 You must separate the Israelites from their uncleanness so that they don't die on account of it, by making my dwelling unclean, which is in their midst.
32 This concludes the Instruction concerning those with discharges: men with emissions of semen that make them unclean,
33 women during their menstruation, men or women with discharges, and men who have had sexual intercourse with an unclean woman.
