Leviticus 15:31-33
New English Translation

Summary of Purification Regulations for Bodily Discharges

31 “‘Thus you[a] are to set the Israelites apart from their impurity so that they[b] do not die in their impurity by defiling my tabernacle which is in their midst. 32 This is the law for the one with a discharge: for the one who has a seminal emission[c] and becomes unclean by it,[d] 33 for the one who is sick in her menstruation, for the one with a discharge, whether male or female,[e] and for a man who goes to bed[f] with an unclean woman.’”
