If a woman experiences a discharge of blood for many days, not at the time of her menstrual separation, or if she has a discharge that continues beyond the time of her menstrual separation, all the days of her abnormal discharge she will be ritually defiled as during the days of her menstrual separation. Any object intended for reclining upon, upon which she reclines during all the days of her abnormal discharge, will be ritually defiled as during her menstrual separation, and any object intended for sitting upon, upon which she sits, will be ritually defiled as during her menstrual separation. Anyone who touches these objects will become ritually defiled and must immerse his garments and himself in water, remaining defiled until evening.
If she becomes purified from her abnormal discharge, she must count for herself seven days, and after this she will be purified. On the eighth day, she must take two turtledoves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. The priest must sacrifice them, one as a sin-offering and the other as an ascent-offering, and thus the priest will effect atonement for her, before God, from the defilement of her discharge. She may then consume sacrificial meat and enter the Tabernacle precincts.
