Chapter 12
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2Speak 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.
3And in the eighth day
the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
4And 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.
5But 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.
6And 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:
7Who 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.
8And 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.
