They must wash their clothes, bathe in water, and will remain unclean until evening. 28 When she is cleansed from her discharge, she must count seven days, and after that she will be clean. 29 On the eighth day, she must take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting. 30 The priest is to offer 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 because of her discharge. 31 You must warn the Israelites about their impurity, so they do not die by defiling My tabernacle, which is among them. 32 This is the law concerning the man with a discharge and anyone who has an emission of semen that makes him unclean. 33 It also applies to a woman during her menstrual period, to anyone—male or female—with a discharge, and to a man who lies with a woman who is unclean.
