Si un hombre se acuesta con una mujer durante su menstruación y descubre su desnudez, él ha dejado al descubierto la fuente de ella, y ella ha descubierto la fuente de su sangre. Ambos serán apartados de su pueblo.

E se alcuno giace con donna che è nella sua immondizia, e scopre le sue vergogne, egli ha scoperto il flusso di quella donna, ed essa ha scoperto il flusso del suo sangue; perciò sieno amendue sterminati del mezzo del lor popolo.
E, quando um homem se deitar com uma mulher no tempo da sua enfermidade, e descobrir a sua nudez, descobrindo a sua fonte, e ela descobrir a fonte do seu sangue, ambos serão extirpados do meio do seu povo.
