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.
