1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of
Israel, saying, ‘If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall
be unclean seven days; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be
unclean. 3 In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be
circumcised. 4 She shall continue in the blood of purification
thirty-three days. She shall not touch any holy thing, nor come into the
sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed. 5 But if she
bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her period;
and she shall continue in the blood of purification sixty-six days.
6 “‘When the days of her purification are completed, for a son, or for a
daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of the Tent of Meeting, a
year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for
a sin offering: 7 and he shall offer it before Yahweh, and make atonement
for her; and she shall be cleansed from the fountain of her blood.
“‘This is the law for her who bears, whether a male or a female. 8 If she
cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves, or two young
pigeons; the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and
the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.’”
