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.'"
