Any bed he lies on will also be unclean. 25 If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days outside of her menstrual period, or if the discharge continues beyond her period, she will be unclean as during her menstruation for as long as the discharge lasts. 26 Any bed she lies on during her discharge will be like her bed during menstruation; any object she sits on will be unclean as during her menstrual impurity. 27 Anyone who touches them will be unclean. 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.
