Leviticus 15:13-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

13. When a man with a discharge becomes clean of his discharge, he shall count seven days for his purification. Then he shall wash his garments and bathe his body in fresh water, and so he will be clean.

14. On the eighth day he shall take two turtledoves or two pigeons, and going before the Lord, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, he shall give them to the priest,

15. who shall offer them up, the one as a purification offering and the other as a burnt offering. Thus shall the priest make atonement before the Lord for the man because of his discharge.

16. When a man has an emission of semen, he shall bathe his whole body in water and be unclean until evening.

17. Any piece of cloth or leather with semen on it shall be washed with water and be unclean until evening.

18. If a man has sexual relations with a woman, they shall both bathe in water and be unclean until evening.

19. When a woman has a flow of blood from her body, she shall be in a state of menstrual uncleanness for seven days. Anyone who touches her shall be unclean until evening.
