The LORD spoke to Moses:
2
“Tell the Israelites: When a woman becomes pregnant and gives birth to a male child, ⓐ she will be unclean seven days, as she is during the days of her menstrual impurity. ⓑ
3
The flesh of his foreskin ⓒ must be circumcised ⓓ on the eighth day. ⓔ
4
She will continue in purification ⓕ from her bleeding ⓖ for 33 days. She must not touch any holy thing or go into the sanctuary until completing her days of purification.
5
But if she gives birth to a female child, she will be unclean for two weeks as she is during her menstrual impurity. She will continue in purification from her bleeding for 66 days.
6
“When her days of purification are complete, whether for a son or daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting a year-old male lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin [1] offering.
7
He will present them before the LORD and make atonement on her behalf; she will be clean from her discharge of blood. This is the law for a woman giving birth, whether to a male or female.
