¹⁹When a woman has her monthly period, she remains unclean for seven days. Anyone who touches her is unclean until evening. ²⁰Anything on which she sits or lies during her monthly period is unclean. ^21–23Anyone who touches her bed or anything on which she has sat must wash his clothes and have a bath, and he remains unclean until evening. ²⁴If a man has sexual intercourse with her during her period, he is contaminated by her impurity and remains unclean for seven days, and any bed on which he lies is unclean.

²⁵If a woman has a flow of blood for several days outside her monthly period or if her flow continues beyond her regular period, she remains unclean as long as the flow continues, just as she is during her monthly period. ²⁶Any bed on which she lies and anything on which she sits during this time is unclean. ²⁷Anyone who touches them is unclean and must wash his clothes and have a bath; he remains unclean until evening. ²⁸After her flow stops, she must wait seven days, and then she will be ritually clean. ²⁹On the eighth day she shall take two doves or two pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord’s presence. ³⁰The priest shall offer one of them as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and in this way he will perform the ritual of purification for her.
