6. He who sits on anything on which the man with the discharge sat shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will remain unclean until evening.
7. And he who touches the body of the man with the discharge shall wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.

14. On the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons and come before the LORD to the entrance of the tent of meeting and give them to the priest.
