The LORD is speaking to Moses for the Israelites at Mount Sinai, setting out the boundaries that mark his people off from Egypt behind them and Canaan ahead. Within a chapter of forbidden sexual unions, this verse names ritual impurity: a woman in her menstrual period was ceremonially unclean (Leviticus 15:19), so intercourse then was prohibited.
