[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, [2] Speak to the children of Israel,
saying, If a woman conceive seed, and bear a man-child, then she shall be
unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her sickness shall
she be unclean. [3] In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be
circumcised. [4] She shall continue in the blood of [her] purifying three
and thirty days; she shall touch no holy 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 impurity;
and she shall continue in the blood of [her] purifying sixty-six days. [6]
When the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter,
she shall bring a lamb a year old for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon,
or a turtle-dove, for a sin-offering, to the door of the tent of meeting,
to the priest: [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 her means
isn`t sufficient for a lamb, then she shall take two turtle-doves, 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.
