1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,

If a woman have conceived seed,

and born a man child:

then she shall be unclean seven days;

according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.

3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

4 And she shall then 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 separation:

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 of the first year for a burnt offering,

and a young pigeon,

or a turtledove,

for a sin offering,

unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,

unto the priest:

7 Who shall offer it before the LORD,

and make an atonement for her;

and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood.

This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female.

8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb,

then she shall bring two turtles,

or two young pigeons;

the one for the burnt offering,

and the other for a sin offering:

and the priest shall make an atonement for her,

and she shall be clean.
