Lev 12
1
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If a woman be delivered, and bear a man-child,
then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her sickness
shall she be unclean.
3
And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
4
And she shall continue in the blood of purification three and thirty days; she shall
touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification
be fulfilled.
5
But if she bear a maid-child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her impurity;
and she shall continue in the blood of purification threescore and six days.
6
And when the days of her purification are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter,
she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon,
or a turtle-dove, for a sin-offering, unto the door of the tent of meeting, unto the
priest.
7
And he shall offer it before the LORD, and make atonement for her; and she shall be
cleansed from the fountain of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth, whether
a male or a female.
8
And if her means suffice not for a lamb, then she shall take two turtle-doves, 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.
