Leviticus 15:25-30

Bodily Discharges, Cleanness, and Guarding the Sanctuary From Uncleanness

The LORD instructs Moses and Aaron concerning uncleanness from male abnormal discharges, contact contamination, cleansing after the discharge stops, semen emissions, menstruation, female abnormal bleeding, and the purpose of these laws: Israel must be separated from uncleanness so they do not die by defiling the LORD's dwelling place.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

25When a woman has a discharge of her blood for many days at a time other than her menstrual period, or if it continues beyond her period, she will be unclean all the days of her unclean discharge, just as she is during the days of her menstruation.

26Any 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.

27Anyone who touches these things will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.

28When a woman is cleansed of her discharge, she must count off seven days, and after that she will be ceremonially clean.

29On the eighth day she is to take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

30The priest is to sacrifice one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for her before the LORD for her unclean discharge.
