1
And the Lord said to Moses ,
2
Say to the children of Israel , If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male child , she will be unclean for seven days , as when she is unwell.
3
And on the eighth day let him be given circumcision .
4
And she will be unclean for thirty -three days till the flow of her blood is stopped; no holy thing may be touched by her, and she may not come into the holy place, till the days for making her clean are ended.
5
But if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks , as when she is unwell; and she will not be completely clean for sixty -six days .
6
And when the days are ended for making her clean for a son or a daughter, let her take to the priest at the door of the Tent of meeting, a lamb of the first year for a burned offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin -offering:
7
And the priest is to make an offering of it before the Lord and take away her sin, and she will be made clean from the flow of her blood . This is the law for a woman who gives birth to a male or a female .
8
And if she has not money enough for a lamb, then let her take two doves or two young pigeons , one for a burned offering and the other for a sin -offering, and the priest will take away her sin and she will be clean,
