Når den som hadde utflod, er blitt frisk, skal han regne sju dager som renselsestid. Han skal vaske klærne sine og bade kroppen sin i rennende vann. Så er han ren og frisk. På den åttende dagen skal han ta to turtelduer eller to unge duer og gå til døren av åpenbaringsteltet. Der skal han gi fuglene til presten, som skal ofre dem til Herren på vegne av mannen. Den ene fuglen gis for synd, og den andre skal brennes på offeralteret. Slik skal presten gjøre soning for ham for Herrens ansikt.

Explained for Children
Imagine you have a boo-boo, and when it gets all better, you need to count seven days, wash your clothes, and take a nice shower to make sure you're all clean. This is how God told people to make sure they were clean and healthy back then.
