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

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.
