12. But a clay vessel that the person who discharges touches must be broken, and any wood object must be rinsed with water.

13. “ ‘And when the person who discharges becomes clean from his body fluid discharge, he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing; then he shall wash his garments, and he shall wash his body with fresh water, and he shall be clean.

14. Then on the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves or two young doves, and he shall come before Yahweh at the tent of assembly’s entrance, and he shall give them to the priest.

15. And the priest shall sacrifice one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and so the priest shall make atonement for him before Yahweh from his body fluid discharge.

16. “ ‘And if an emission of semen goes out from anyone, then he shall wash all of his body with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening.

17. And any garment and anything leather on which is an emission of semen shall be washed with water, and it shall be unclean until the evening.

18. If there is a woman with whom a man lies down and there is an emission of semen, then they shall wash themselves with water, and they shall be unclean until the evening.

19. “ ‘And when a woman is menstruating, her body fluid discharge occurs in her body; for seven days she shall be in her menstruation, and any person who touches her shall become unclean until the evening.

20. And anything upon which she lies down during her menstruation shall become unclean, and anything upon which she sits shall become unclean.

21. And any person who touches her bed must wash his garments, and he shall wash himself with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening.

22. And any person who touches any object on which she sat must wash his garments, and he shall wash himself with water, and he shall be unclean until the evening.

23. And if it is on the bed or on the object on which she sits, at his touching it he becomes unclean until the evening.
