Sexual Uncleanness

The Lord told Moses and Aaron

After having sex, both the man and the woman must take a bath, but they still remain unclean until evening.

Any man who has sex with her during this time becomes unclean for seven days, and anything he rests on is also unclean.

These are the things you men must do if you become unclean because of an infected penis or if you have a flow of semen. And these are the things you women must do when you become unclean either because of your monthly period or an unusual flow of blood. This is also what you men must do if you have sex with a woman who is unclean.
