3
and this is his uncleanness in his dischargehis flesh has run with his discharge, or his flesh has stopped from his discharge; it [is] his uncleanness.
4
Every bed on which he who has the discharging lies is unclean, and every vessel on which he sits is unclean;
5
and anyone who comes against his bed washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.
6
And he who is sitting on the vessel on which he sits who has the discharging, washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.
7
And he who is coming against the flesh of him who has the discharging, washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.
8
And when he who has the discharging spits on him who is clean, then he has washed his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.
9
And all the saddle on which he who has the discharging rides is unclean;
10
and anyone who is coming against anything which is under him is unclean until the evening, and he who is carrying them washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.
11
And anyone against whom he who has the discharging comes (and has not rinsed his hands with water) has even washed his garments, and bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

21
and anyone who is coming against her bed washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.
22
And anyone who is coming against any vessel on which she sits washes his garments, and has washed with water, and been unclean until the evening.
23
And if it [is] on the bed, or on the vessel on which she is sitting, in his coming against it, he is unclean until the evening.
24
And if a man really lies with her, and her separation is on him, then he has been unclean [for] seven days, and all the bed on which he lies is unclean.
25
And when a woman’s discharge of blood flows many days within the time of her separation, or when it flows over her separationall the days of the discharge of her uncleanness are as the days of her separation; she [is] unclean.
26
Every bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge is as the bed of her separation to her, and every vessel on which she sits is unclean as the uncleanness of her separation;
27
and anyone who is coming against them is unclean, and has washed his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

30
and the priest has made one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering, and the priest has made atonement for her before YHWH, because of the discharge of her uncleanness.

33
and of her who is sick in her separation, and of him who has the discharging (his discharge, of the male or of the female), and of a man who lies with an unclean woman.”
