¹³ “When a man recovers from his issue, he shall count seven days for his purification; He will wash his clothes and bathe in running water, and he will be clean.

¹⁴ On the eighth day he will take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and go before the Lord, at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, and give them to the priest.

¹⁵ The priest will sacrifice them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and thus make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the man because of the issue.

²⁸ “When you recover from your issue, you will count seven days, and after that you will be pure.

²⁹ On the eighth day he will catch two turtledoves or two young pigeons and take them to the priest, at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

³¹ “Keep the Israelites separate from the things that make them unclean, so that they will not die from defiling my tabernacle, which is among them, with their uncleanness.”

³³ of the woman in her menstruation, of the man or woman who has a discharge, and of the man who lies with a woman who is unclean.
