washed with water, shall be unclean until the evening.
15:28. If the blood stop and cease to run, she shall count seven days of
her purification:
15:29. And on the eighth day she shall offer for herself to the priest,
two turtles, or two young pigeons, at the door of the tabernacle of the

and he shall pray for her before the Lord, and for the issue of her
uncleanness.
