¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:

²Speak to the children of Israel, saying: When a woman bears a child and gives birth to a male, she will be unclean seven days; as in the days of the impurity of her ailment, she will be unclean.

³And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin will be circumcised.

⁴And thirty days and three days she will dwell in the blood of purification; she must not touch any holy thing, and she must not come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification are completed.

⁵And if she bears a female, she will be unclean two weeks, as in her impurity; and sixty days and six days she will dwell in the blood of purification.

⁶And when the days of her purification are completed, for a son or for a daughter, she will bring a lamb of its year for a burnt offering, and a young dove or a ring-dove for a sin offering, to the entrance of the tent of appointed meeting, to the priest.

⁷He will bring it near before the face of Yahweh and cover over her, and she will be pure from the spring of her blood. This is the instruction for her who bears a male or a female.

⁸And if her hand does not find enough for a sheep, she will take two ring-doves or two young ones of a dove, one for a burnt offering and one for a sin offering; and the priest will cover over her, and she will be pure.
