¹ And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

² Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, A woman when she conceiveth seed and giveth birth to a male child, then shall she be unclean seven days, according to the days of her removal in her sickness shall she be unclean.

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

⁴ And, for thirty-three days, shall she continue in the blood of purification,—no hallowed thing, shall she touch, and, into the sanctuary, shall she not enter, until her days of purification are fulfilled.

⁵ But if, a female child, she bear, then shall she be unclean two weeks as in her removal,—and, for sixty-six days, shall she continue in the blood of purification.

⁶ And, when the days of her purification are fulfilled, whether for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring in a lamb, the choice of its year, as an ascending-sacrifice, and a young pigeon or a turtle-dove, as a sin-bearer, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, unto the priest;

⁷ and he shall bring it near before Yahweh so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over her, and she shall be clean from her fountain of blood. This, is the law for her that hath given birth, to a male child or to a female.

⁸ But, if her hand findeth not sufficiency for a lamb, then shall she take two turtle doves or two young pigeons, one for an ascending-sacrifice and one for a sin-bearer,—so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over her, and she shall be clean.
