Leviticus 12

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Say to the Israelites, ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be unclean for seven days, as she is during the days of her menstruation.

3 And on the eighth day the flesh of the boy’s foreskin is to be circumcised.

4 The woman shall continue in purification from her bleeding for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything sacred or go into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are complete.

5 If, however, she gives birth to a daughter, the woman will be unclean for two weeks as she is during her menstruation. Then she must continue in purification from her bleeding for sixty-six days.

6 When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.

7 And the priest will present them before the LORD and make atonement for her; and she shall be ceremonially cleansed from her flow of blood. This is the law for a woman giving birth, whether to a male or to a female.

8 But if she cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. Then the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”

1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak 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.

3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

4 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.

5 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.

6 ¶ 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 turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:

7 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 born a male or a female.

8 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.

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman be smitten, and bring forth a kid, she shall be unclean seven days, as long as she suffereth her sickness.

3 And on the eighth day he shall circumcise the flesh of his foreskin.

4 And she shall abide in the blood of her purification thirty and three days. No holy thing shall she touch, neither shall she come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification be ended.

5 And if she bear a damsel, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as long as she suffereth her sickness; and she shall abide sixty and six days in the blood of her cleansing.

6 And it shall come to pass, when the days of her purification are expired for the son, or for the daughter, that 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 priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

7 He shall offer her before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be clean from her issue of blood. This is the law for her that bringeth forth a child or a maid.

8 And if her hand be not able to take one sheep, then she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
