“Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.”
Any bed she lies on while her discharge continues will be unclean, as is her bed during her monthly period, and anything she sits on will be unclean, as during her period. The defiled bed and seat of the woman with the unusual discharge extend the regulations of the regular monthly discharge to the extended impurity context. The consistent application of the same surface-defilement principles to both the regular and the unusual female discharge communicates the systematic character of the female discharge regulations.
