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