15 2 When a man has a running issue out of his flesh, he is unclean. 4 Every bed that he lies on, and everything he sits on, is unclean.
5 Whoever touches his bed must wash himself and his clothes with water and be unclean until the evening.
6 Whoever sits on anything that he sat on must wash himself and his clothes with water and be unclean until the evening.
8 If the man with the running issue spits on a man, then the man must wash himself and his clothes with water and be unclean until the evening.
9 The saddle that the man with the issue rode upon is also unclean.
13 When the man with the issue is cleaned of his issue, he must wait seven days, wash his clothes, and take a bath in running water. Then he'll be clean.
14 On the eighth day, he must bring two doves or pigeons to the priest, who will offer one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering in front of God for his issue.
16 If a man's seed of copulation goes out from him, he shall wash all of his flesh in water and be unclean until the evening. 17 Every garment or skin that has the seed of copulation on it must be washed with water and is unclean until the evening.
18 If a woman gets any seed of copulation on her, she is unclean. She and the man must wash themselves in water and be unclean until the evening.
19 Menstruating women are unclean and must be secluded for seven days. Whoever touches them is unclean until the evening.
20 Everything that she sits on is also unclean.
21 Anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes, take a bath, and be unclean until the evening.
22 Anyone who touches anything that she has sat upon must wash his clothes, take a bath, and be unclean until the evening.
24 If a man has sex with a menstruating woman, he is unclean for seven days. And the bed that they had sex on is unclean.
25 If a woman has an issue of blood outside of her regular period, she is unclean.
26 Every bed that she lies on and everything she sits on is unclean.
27 Whoever touches anything that she has touched is also unclean, and must wash his clothes, take a bath, and be unclean until the evening.
28 If she is cleansed of her issue, she is unclean for seven more days. After that, she's clean.
29 On the eighth day, she must bring two pigeons or doves to a priest, who will offer one as a sin offering and one as a burnt offering in front of God for her uncleanness.
Menstruating women are unclean and sinful.
Anything that they touch is unclean.
Anyone who touches anything that they touch is unclean.
Stay the hell away from them.
(And for God's sake, don't even think about having sex with them!)
