Leviticus 15:19

¹⁷ 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.

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.

²⁰ Anything on which she lies or sits during her menstruation will be unclean,

²¹ and anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he 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.
