1The LORD spoke to Moses. He said,2‘Speak to the Israelites. Tell them, “Suppose a woman becomes pregnant and has a baby boy. Then she will be ‘unclean’ for seven days. It is the same as when she is ‘unclean’ during her monthly period.3On the eighth day the boy must be circumcised.4After that, the woman must wait for 33 days to be made pure from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred until the 33 days are over. During that time she must not go to the sacred tent.5But suppose she has a baby girl. Then she will be ‘unclean’ for two weeks. It is the same as during her period. After the two weeks, she must wait for 66 days to be made pure from her bleeding.6‘ “After she has waited the required number of days to be made pure, she must bring two offerings. She must take them to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting. She must bring a lamb a year old for a burnt offering. She must also bring a young pigeon or a dove for a sin offering.7The priest must offer them to the LORD. They will pay for her sin. Then she will be ‘clean’ from her bleeding. ‘ “These are the rules for a woman who has a baby boy or girl.8But suppose she can’t afford a lamb. Then she must bring two doves or two young pigeons. One is for a burnt offering. The other is for a sin offering. The priest will sacrifice those offerings. That will pay for her sin. And she will be ‘clean’. ” ’
1The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,2“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, If a woman conceives and bears a male child, then she shall be unclean seven days. As at the time of her menstruation, she shall be unclean. (Le 15:19; Lu 2:22)3And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. (Ge 17:12; Lu 1:59; Lu 2:21; Joh 7:22)4Then she shall continue for thirty-three days in the blood of her purifying. She shall not touch anything holy, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are completed.5But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her menstruation. And she shall continue in the blood of her purifying for sixty-six days.6“And when the days of her purifying are completed, whether for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the entrance of the tent of meeting a lamb a year old for a burnt offering, and a pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering, (Le 12:2)7and he shall offer it before the Lord and make atonement for her. Then she shall be clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, either male or female.8And if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two pigeons,[1] one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.” (Le 1:14; Le 4:26; Le 5:7; Le 12:6; Lu 2:24)
