Leviticus 12:2

The Ritual After Childbirth

1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If a ^awoman has conceived, and borne a male child, then ^bshe shall be unclean seven days; ^cas in the days of her customary impurity she shall be unclean.

3 And on the ^aeighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

4 She shall then continue in the blood of her purification thirty-three days. She shall not touch any¹ hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are fulfilled.

5 ‘But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her customary impurity, and she shall continue in the blood of her purification sixty-six days.

6 ^a‘When the days of her purification are fulfilled, whether for a son or a daughter, she shall bring to the priest a ^blamb of the first year as a burnt offering, and a young pigeon or a turtledove as a ^csin offering, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

7 Then he shall offer it before the Lord, and make¹ atonement for her. And she shall be clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who has borne a male or a female.
