In either case the man is unclean.H2932H2101H1320H7325H2101H1320H2856H2101H29324Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies and anything on which he sits will be ceremonially unclean.H4904H7901H2100H2930H3627H3427H29305So if you touch the man's bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.H376H5060H4904H3526H899H7364H4325H2930H61536If you sit where the man with the discharge has sat, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.H3427H3627H3427H2100H3526H899H7364H4325H2930H61537If you touch the man with the discharge, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.H5060H1320H2100H3526H899H7364H4325H2930H61538If the man spits on you, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.H2100H7556H2889H3526H899H7364H4325H2930H61539Any saddle blanket on which the man rides will be ceremonially unclean.H4817H7392H2100H293010If you touch anything that was under the man, you will be unclean until evening. You must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.H5060H2930H6153H5375H3526H899H7364H4325H2930H615311If the man touches you without first rinsing his hands, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.H5060H2100H7857H3027H4325H3526H899H7364H4325H2930H615312Any clay pot the man touches must be broken, and any wooden utensil he touches must be rinsed with water.H3627H2789H5060H2100H7665H3627H6086H7857H432513"When the man with the discharge is healed, he must count off seven days for the period of purification. Then he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in fresh water, and he will be ceremonially clean.H2100H2891H2101H5608H7651H3117H2893H3526H899H7364H1320H2416H4325H289114On the eighth day he must get two turtledoves or two young pigeons and come before the LORD at the entrance of the Tabernaclec and give his offerings to the priest.H8066H3117H3947H8147H8449H8147H1121H3123H935H6440H3068H6607H168H4150H5414H354815The priest will offer one bird for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.

Anyone who touches her during that time will be unclean until evening.H802H2100H2101H1320H1818H5079H7651H3117H5060H2930H615320Anything on which the woman lies or sits during the time of her period will be unclean.H7901H5079H2930H3427H293021If any of you touch her bed, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.H5060H4904H3526H899H7364H4325H2930H615322If you touch any object she has sat on, you must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.H5060H3627H3427H3526H899H7364H4325H2930H615323This includes her bed or any other object she has sat on; you will be unclean until evening if you touch it.H4904H3627H3427H5060H2930H615324If a man has sexual intercourse with her and her blood touches him, her menstrual impurity will be transmitted to him. He will remain unclean for seven days, and any bed on which he lies will be unclean.H376H7901H7901H5079H2930H7651H3117H4904H7901H293025"If a woman has a flow of blood for many days that is unrelated to her menstrual period, or if the blood continues beyond the normal period, she is ceremonially unclean. As during her menstrual period, the woman will be unclean as long as the discharge continues.H802H2100H2101H1818H7227H3117H3808H6256H5079H2100H5921H5079H3117H2101H2932H3117H5079H293126Any bed she lies on and any object she sits on during that time will be unclean, just as during her normal menstrual period.H4904H7901H3117H2101H4904H5079H3627H3427H2931H2932H507927If any of you touch these things, you will be ceremonially unclean. You must wash your clothes and bathe yourself in water, and you will remain unclean until evening.H5060H2930H3526H899H7364H4325H2930H615328"When the woman's bleeding stops, she must count off seven days. Then she will be ceremonially clean.H2891H2101H5608H7651H3117H310H289129On the eighth day she must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons and present them to the priest at the entrance of the Tabernacle.H8066H3117H3947H8147H8449H8147H1121H3123H935H3548H6607H168H415030The priest will offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering. Through this process, the priest will purify her before the LORD for the ceremonial impurity caused by her bleeding.H3548H6213H259H2403H259H5930H3548H3722H6440H3068H2101H293231"This is how you will guard the people of Israel from ceremonial uncleanness. Otherwise they would die, for their impurity would defile my Tabernacle that stands among them.H5144H1121H3478H2932H4191H2932H2930H4908H843232These are the instructions for dealing with anyone who has a bodily discharge—a man who is unclean because of an emission of semenH8451H2100H2233H7902H3318H293033or a woman during her menstrual period. It applies to any man or woman who has a bodily discharge, and to a man who has sexual intercourse with a woman who is ceremonially unclean."H1739H5079H2100H2101H2145H5347H376H7901H2931
