Leviticus 15

1 And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

The Lord told Moses and Aaron,

2 “Say to the Israelites, ‘When any man has a bodily discharge, the discharge is unclean.

“Tell the Israelites, When any man has a discharge from his genitals, the discharge is unclean.

3 This uncleanness is from his discharge, whether his body allows the discharge to flow or blocks it. So his discharge will bring about uncleanness.

The uncleanness comes from his discharge, whether his body allows it to flow out or blocks it. It makes him unclean.

4 Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies will be unclean, and any furniture on which he sits will be unclean.

12 Any clay pot that the man with the discharge touches must be broken, and any wooden utensil must be rinsed with water.

Any clay item touched by the man must be broken, and any wooden item must be washed with water.

13 When the man has been cleansed from his discharge, he must count off seven days for his cleansing, wash his clothes, and bathe himself in fresh water, and he shall be clean.

Once the discharge has healed, the man must allocate seven days for his cleaning process, wash his clothes, and wash himself in fresh water, and he shall be clean.

14 On the eighth day he is to take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, come before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest.

On the eighth day he must take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, come before the Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest.

When a woman has a discharge of blood for several days when it's not the time for her period, or if it continues past her period, she will be unclean for the whole time she is bleeding, not just for the days of her period.

26 Any bed on which she lies or any furniture on which she sits during the days of her discharge will be unclean, like her bed during her menstrual period.
