1Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying:

3Then on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

4And she shall stay at home in her condition of Lit blood of purifying; i.e., ritually clean blood from childbirthblood purification for thirty-three days; she shall not touch any consecrated thing, nor enter the sanctuary until the days of her purification are completed.

5But if she gives birth to a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her menstruation; and she shall stay at home in her condition of See note v 4blood purification for 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 doorway of the tent of meeting a one-year-old lamb as a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove as a Or purification offeringsin offering.

7Then he shall offer it before the Lord and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the Lit fountainflow of her blood. This is the law for her who gives birth to a child, whether a male or a female.

8But if Lit her hand does not find enough forshe cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young doves, the one as a burnt offering and the other as a Or purification offeringsin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’ ”
