Chapter 12
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying ,
2 " Speak to the children of Israel , saying , ‘ If a woman conceives, and bears a male child , then she shall be unclean seven days ; as in the days of her monthly period she shall be unclean .
3 In the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised .
4 She shall continue in the blood of purification thirty-three days . She shall not touch any holy thing , nor come into the sanctuary , until the days of her purifying are completed .
5 But if she bears a female child , then she shall be unclean two weeks , as in her period ; and she shall continue in the blood of purification sixty-six days .
6 "‘ When the days of her purification are completed for a son or for a daughter , she shall bring to the priest at the door of the Tent of Meeting , a year old lamb for a burnt offering , and a young pigeon or a turtledove , for a sin offering .
7 He shall offer it before Yahweh , and make atonement for her ; then 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 she cannot afford a lamb , then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons : the one for a burnt offering , and the other for a sin offering . The priest shall make atonement for her , and she shall be clean .’"
