﻿Leviticus.
Chapter 12.
The LORD spoke to Moses and said, 
“Tell the Israelites, ‘When a woman conceives and gives birth to a boy, she shall be unclean for seven days; she shall be unclean as during the days of her menstrual impurity. 
On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin must be circumcised. 
She shall then remain in the period of her blood purification for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything holy or enter the sanctuary until the days of her purification are complete. 
If she gives birth to a girl, she shall be unclean for two weeks, as during her menstruation. She shall remain in the period of her blood purification for sixty-six days. 
When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or a daughter, she must bring a year-old male lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 
He shall present it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be clean from her flow of blood. This is the law for a woman who gives birth to a boy or a girl. 
If she cannot afford a sheep or goat, she must take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. The priest shall make atonement for her, and she shall be clean.’”
