14 'Then on the eighth day he shall take for himself 1two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD to the doorway of the tent of meeting and give them to the priest;
15 and the priest shall offer them, 2one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. So 3the priest shall make atonement on his behalf before the LORD because of his discharge.
16 '4Now if a man has a seminal emission, he shall bathe all his body in water and be unclean until evening.
17 'As for any garment or any leather on which there is seminal emission, it shall be washed with water and be unclean until evening.
18 'If a man lies with a woman so that there is a seminal emission, they shall both bathe in water and be 5unclean until evening.
19 '6When a woman has a discharge, if her discharge in her body is blood, she shall continue in her menstrual impurity for seven days; and whoever touches her shall be unclean until evening.
20 'Everything also on which she lies during her menstrual impurity shall be unclean, and everything on which she sits shall be unclean.
21 'Anyone who touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.
22 'Whoever touches any thing on which she sits shall wash his clothes and bathe in water and be unclean until evening.
23 'Whether it be on the bed or on the thing on which she is sitting, when he touches it, he shall be unclean until evening.
24 '7If a man actually lies with her so that her menstrual impurity is on him, he shall be unclean seven days, and every bed on which he lies shall be unclean.
