Leviticus 15:26-33

26 Every bed on which she sleepeth, and every vessel on which she sitteth, shall be defiled.
27 Whosoever toucheth them shall wash his clothes: and himself being washed with water, shall be unclean until the evening.
28 If the blood stop and cease to run, she shall count seven days of her purification:
29 And on the eighth day she shall offer for herself to the priest, two turtles, or two young pigeons, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony:
30 And he shall offer one for sin, and the other for a holocaust, and he shall pray for her before the Lord, and for the issue of her uncleanness.
31 You shall teach therefore the children of Israel to take heed of uncleanness, that they may not die in their filth, when they shall have defiled my tabernacle that is among them.
32 This is the law of him that hath the issue of seed, and that is defiled by copulation.
33 And of the woman that is separated in her monthly times, or that hath a continual issue of blood, and of the man that sleepeth with her.
