Purification after Childbirth

1 And the Lord spoke with Moses, saying: 2 Speak with the children of Israel, saying: A woman, when she has conceived and borne a male child, shall be unclean seven days; according to the days for the removal of her uncleanness, she shall be unclean.⁠a 3 And on the eighth day he shall be circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin; 4 and she shall continue thirty-three days in the purification of blood; she may not touch any sacred thing or come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification are completed. 5 But if she bears a female child, she shall be unclean fourteen days, according to her separation; and she will remain sixty-six days for the purification of the blood. 6 And when the days of her purification are complete, for the son or for the daughter, let her bring a year-old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest, 7 who shall offer it before the Lord, and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the uncleanness of her blood. This is the law for her who bears male or female. 8 But if she cannot afford a lamb, let her take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; one for the burnt offering, and the other for the sin offering, and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
