1The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,
2"Speak to the children of Israel. Say to them: If a woman conceives and gives birth to a boy, she will be unclean for seven days. She will be unclean just as she is in the days of her separation when she is unwell."
3"And on the eighth day the flesh of the boy's foreskin shall be circumcised."
4"Then she shall remain in the blood of her purifying for thirty-three days. She must not touch any holy thing, and she must not come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are complete."
5"But if she gives birth to a girl, then she will be unclean for two weeks, as in her separation. And she shall remain in the blood of her purifying for sixty-six days."
6"When the days of her purifying are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering."
7"The priest shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for the woman who has given birth to a boy or a girl."
8"And if she is not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons. One is for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering. The priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean."
