1 The LORD spoke to Moses and said, 2 “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. 3 On the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin must be circumcised. 4 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. 5 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. 6 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. 7 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. 8 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.’ ”
