1 Adonaisaid to Moshe,
2 “Tell the people of Isra’el: ‘If a woman conceives and gives birth to a boy, she will be unclean for seven days with the same uncleanness as inniddah, when she is having her menstrual period.
3 On the eighth day, the baby’s foreskin is to be circumcised.
4 She is to wait an additional thirty-three days to be purified from her blood; she is not to touch any holy thing or come into the sanctuary until the time of her purification is over.
5 But if she gives birth to a girl, she will be unclean for two weeks, as in herniddah; and she is to wait another sixty-six days to be purified from her blood.
6 “‘When the days of her purification are over, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring a lamb in its first year for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or dove for a sin offering to the entrance of the tent of meeting, to thecohen.
7 He will offer it beforeAdonaiand make atonement for her; thus she will be purified from her discharge of blood. Such is the law for a woman who gives birth, whether to a boy or to a girl.
8 If she can’t afford a lamb, she is to take two doves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; thecohenwill make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”
