Leviticus

Chapter 12

1 And Jehovah/God spoke/
'communicated doctrine categorically'
  {dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto Moses, saying, 2
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
If a woman have conceived seed,
and born a man child.

Then she shall be unclean seven days;
according to the days of the separation
for her infirmity shall she be unclean.

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

4 And she shall then continue
in the blood of her purifying
three and thirty days;
she shall touch no hallowed thing,
nor come into the sanctuary,
until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.

5 But if she bear a maid child,
then she shall be unclean two weeks,
as in her separation.

And she shall continue in the blood of her purifying
threescore and six days {66 days}.

6 And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled,
for a son, or for a daughter,
she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering,
and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering,
unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
unto the priest.

7 Who shall offer it before Jehovah/God,
and make an atonement for her;
and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood.

This is the law for her who has borne a male or a female.

8 And if she be not able to bring a lamb,
then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons;
the one for the burnt offering,
and the other for a sin offering.

And the priest shall make an atonement for her,
and she shall be clean.
