| 1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children
of Israel, saying, If a woman conceive seed, 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 her
purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come
into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying 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 her purifying
threescore and six days.
6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a
daughter, she shall bring a lamb a year old 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 Jehovah, 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.
