Leviticus 15:6
4 Any bed on which the man with the discharge lies will be unclean, and any furniture on which he sits will be unclean.
5 Anyone who touches his bed must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
Whoever sits on furniture on which the man with the discharge was sitting must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
7 Whoever touches the body of the man with a discharge must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
8 If the man with the discharge spits on one who is clean, that person 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.
