Leviticus 15:28-33

28 If her blood standeth, and ceaseth to flow out, she shall number seven days of her cleansing, (But when her blood standeth, and ceaseth to flow out, she shall count seven days for her cleansing,)
29 and in the eighth day she shall offer for herself to the priest two turtles, either culver birds, at the door of the tabernacle of witnessing; (and on the eighth day she shall bring her offering of two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, at the entrance to the Tabernacle of the Witnessing;)
30 and the priest shall offer one for her sin, and the tother into burnt sacrifice (and the priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt sacrifice); and the priest shall pray for her before the Lord, and for the flowing out of her uncleanness.
31 Therefore ye shall teach the sons of Israel, that they eschew uncleannesses, and that they die not for their filths, when they defoul my tabernacle that is among them. (And so ye shall teach the Israelites, that they must shun uncleannesses, and not bring in their filths to defile my Tabernacle that is among them, and so be put to death because of that.)
32 This is the law of him that suffereth the flowing out of seed, and (of him) that is defouled with fleshly coupling, (This is the law for him who suffereth the flowing out of seed, and for him who is defiled with fleshly coupling,)
33 and also of the woman that is separated in the time of (the) months, either that floweth out in continual blood, and of the man that sleepeth with her. (and also of the woman who is set apart at the time of the month, or who floweth out with continual blood, and of the man who sleepeth with her.)
