Cyrill of Alexandria
The law further stipulates a ruling regarding a woman in her period of bleeding and one who suffers from a persistent discharge that renders her unclean. Just as every container, bed, garment, and any man who touches or approaches them becomes unclean through the emissions from a man, so too is she made unclean. Her purification is similarly carried out through the washing with water, the offering of turtledoves, and the atonement performed by the priest. (See Lev. 15:1-15)
