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.  ‡

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.  ‡
