¹⁵ The priest is to sacrifice them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for the man before the LORD because of his discharge.

¹⁶ When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean until evening.
