“And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.”
And for a woman in her monthly period, for a man or woman with a discharge, and for a man who has sexual relations with a woman who is ceremonially unclean. These are the regulations for anyone who has a bodily discharge, whether male or female. The comprehensive closing summary covers all the discharge categories: monthly period, unusual discharge, and sexual relations with the unclean. The any male or female final phrase communicates the equal application of the discharge regulations across gender. The comprehensive coverage of the discharge regulations, like the comprehensive coverage of the skin disease regulations and the dietary laws, communicates the covenant's complete engagement with the community's bodily life.
