15 and the priest shall offer them, 1one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. So 2the priest shall make atonement on his behalf before the LORD because of his discharge.
16 '3Now 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 4unclean until evening.
19 '5When 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 '6If 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.
25 '7Now if a woman has a discharge of her blood many days, not at the period of her menstrual impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond that period, all the days of her impure discharge she shall continue as though in her menstrual impurity; she is unclean.
