Chapter 12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, If a woman have conceived seed and born a manchild, 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 foreskins 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 turtle dove 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 borne 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.
