Yahweh said to Moses, | Purification after childbirth. Lv.12.1-8 |
| 2 |
"Say to the people of Israel, If a woman conceives, and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as at the time of her menstruation, she shall be unclean. | |
| 3 |
And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. | |
| 4 |
Then she shall continue for thirty-three days in the blood of her purifying; she shall not touch any hallowed 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 menstruation; and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying for sixty-six days. | |
| 6 |
"And when the days of her purifying are completed, whether for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the door of the tent of meeting a lamb a year old 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; then she shall be clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, either male or female. | |
| 8 |
And if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, 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." | |
