Leviticus 15:17-27

17 And every garment and every skin upon which the seed of a man has come shall be washed with water and be unclean until the evening.
18 The woman also with whom the man shall have sexual contact with seed, they shall both bathe themselves in water and be unclean until the evening.
19 And when the woman has an issue of blood and her issue is in her flesh, she shall be put apart seven days, and whoever touches her shall be unclean until the evening.
20 And everything that she lies upon in her separation shall be unclean; everything also that she sits upon shall be unclean.
21 And whoever touches her bed shall wash his clothes and bathe himself with water and be unclean until the evening.
22 Also whoever touches any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.
23 And if any thing was on the bed or on any thing upon which she sat, he that touches it shall be unclean until the evening.
24 And if any man sleeps with her and her uncleanness comes upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and any bed upon which he sleeps shall be unclean.
25 And the woman when she has an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation or if it runs beyond the time of her separation, all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
26 Every bed upon which she sleeps all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation; and whatever she sits upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
27 Whoever touches these things shall be unclean and shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water and be unclean until the evening.
