Leviticus 12
- And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 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.
