Then the LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
"Speak to the sons
of Israel
, saying
:
`When a woman
1gives
birth
and bears
a male
child, then she shall be unclean
for seven
days
, aas in the days
of 2her menstruation
she shall be unclean
.
`On athe eighth day
the flesh
of his foreskin
shall be circumcised
.
`Then she shall remain in the blood
of her purification
for thirty-three
days
; she shall not touch
any
consecrated
thing
, nor
enter
the sanctuary
until
the days
of her purification
are completed
.
`But if she bears
a female
child, then she shall be unclean
for two weeks
, as in her 1menstruation
; and she shall remain
in the blood
of her purification
for sixty-six
days
.
` aWhen the days of her purification
are completed
, for a son
or
for a daughter
, she shall bring
to the priest
at the doorway
of the tent
of meeting
a one year
old
lamb
for a burnt
offering
and a young
pigeon
or
a turtledove
bfor a sin
offering
.
`Then he shall offer it before
the LORD
and make
atonement
for her, and she shall be cleansed
from the 1flow
of her blood
. This
is the law
for her who bears
a child, whether a male
or
a female
.
`But if 1she cannot
afford
a lamb
, then she shall take
atwo
turtledoves
or
two
young
pigeons
, bthe one
for a burnt
offering
and the other
for a sin
offering
; and the cpriest
shall make
atonement
for her, and she will be clean
.' "
