Primary Verses:
-
Leviticus 12:1-8
-
"And YHVH spake unto Moses,
saying, 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. And in the
eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be
circumcised. 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. 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.
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: Who shall offer it before YHVH, and make an
atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the
issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath
born a male or a female. 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."
