Leviticus 15:16

The Cleansing of Men

15The priest is to sacrifice them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for the man before the LORD because of his discharge.16When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean until evening.17Any clothing or leather on which there is an emission of semen must be washed with water, and it will remain unclean until evening.
