conception; in sorrow thou shall bring forth children and thy desire shall
be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." -Genesis 3:16

unclean seven days... But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be
unclean two weeks... - Leviticus 12:2-8
And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall
be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. The woman also with
whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe
themselves in water, and be unclean unt il the even. And if a woman have
an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven
days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. And
every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean. And w
hosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in
water, and be unclean until the even. And whoever toucheth any thing that
she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be
unclean until the even. And if any m an lie with her at all, and her
flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the beds
whereon he lieth shall be unclean... This is the law of him that hath an
issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith; and
of he r that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the
man, and of the woman, and of him that lie with her that is unclean.
