Leviticus

Leviticus 15:31–33

³¹You must keep the children of Israel separate from their uncleanness, so that they do not die by defiling My tabernacle, which is among them.

³²This is the law of him who has a discharge, of the man who has an emission of semen whereby he is unclean, ³³of a woman in her menstrual period, of any male or female who has a discharge, and of a man who lies with an unclean woman.’”
