Leviticus 15:27-33

27 "'Whoever touches those things will be unclean and must wash his clothes and bathe in water; he will be unclean until evening.

28 When the woman becomes clean from her bleeding, she must wait seven days, and after this she will be clean.

29 Then on the eighth day she must take two doves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance of the Meeting Tent.

30 The priest must offer one bird for a sin offering and the other for a whole burnt offering. In this way the priest will make her clean so she can belong to the Lord again.

31 "'So you must warn the people of Israel to stay separated from things that make them unclean. If you don't warn the people, they might make my Holy Tent unclean, and then they would have to die!'"

32 These are the teachings for the person who discharges a body fluid and for the man who becomes unclean from semenn coming out of his body.

33 These are the teachings for the woman who becomes unclean from her monthly period, for a man or woman who has a discharge, and for a man who becomes unclean by having sexual relations with a woman who is unclean.
