Leviticus 15:17
15 The priest is to sacrifice them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for the man before the LORD because of his discharge.
16 When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
Any clothing or leather on which there is an emission of semen must be washed with water, and it will remain unclean until evening.
18 If a man lies with a woman and there is an emission of semen, both must bathe with water, and they will remain unclean until evening.
19 When a woman has a discharge consisting of blood from her body, she will be unclean due to her menstruation for seven days, and anyone who touches her will be unclean until evening.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
