1. The LORD gave Moses the following regulations
|
1. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. for the people of Israel. For seven days after a woman gives birth to a son, she is ritually unclean, as she is during her monthly period.
|
2. Speak H1696 unto H413 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , saying H559 , If H3588 a woman H802 have conceived seed H2232 , and borne H3205 a man child H2145 : then she shall be unclean H2930 seven H7651 days H3117 ; according to the days H3117 of the separation H5079 for her infirmity H1738 shall she be unclean H2930 .
|
|
3. On the eighth day, the child shall be circumcised.
|
3. And in the eighth H8066 day H3117 the flesh H1320 of his foreskin H6190 shall be circumcised H4135 .
|
|
4. Then it will be thirty-three more days until she is ritually clean from her loss of blood; she must not touch anything that is holy or enter the sacred Tent until the time of her purification is completed.
|
4. And she shall then continue H3427 in the blood H1818 of her purifying H2893 three H7969 and thirty H7970 days H3117 ; she shall touch H5060 no H3808 H3605 hallowed thing H6944 , nor H3808 come H935 into H413 the sanctuary H4720 , until H5704 the days H3117 of her purifying H2892 be fulfilled H4390 .
|
|
5. For fourteen days after a woman gives birth to a daughter, she is ritually unclean, as she is during her monthly period. Then it will be sixty-six more days until she is ritually clean from her loss of blood.
|
5. But if H518 she bear H3205 a maid child H5347 , then she shall be unclean H2930 two weeks H7620 , as in her separation H5079 : and she shall continue H3427 in H5921 the blood H1818 of her purifying H2893 threescore H8346 and six H8337 days H3117 .
|
|
6. When the time of her purification is completed, whether for a son or daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the entrance of the Tent of the LORD's presence a one-year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a pigeon or a dove for a sin offering.
|
6. And when the days H3117 of her purifying H2892 are fulfilled H4390 , for a son H1121 , or H176 for a daughter H1323 , she shall bring H935 a lamb H3532 of the first H1121 year H8141 for a burnt offering H5930 , and a young H1121 pigeon H3123 , or H176 a turtledove H8449 , for a sin offering H2403 , unto H413 the door H6607 of the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 , unto H413 the priest H3548 :
|
|
7. The priest shall present her offering to the LORD and perform the ritual to take away her impurity, and she will be ritually clean. This, then, is what a woman must do after giving birth.
|
7. Who shall offer H7126 it before H6440 the LORD H3068 , and make an atonement H3722 for H5921 her ; and she shall be cleansed H2891 from the issue H4480 H4726 of her blood H1818 . This H2063 is the law H8451 for her that hath born H3205 a male H2145 or H176 a female H5347 .
|
|
8. If the woman cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two doves or two pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering, and the priest shall perform the ritual to take away her impurity, and she will be ritually clean.
|
8. And if H518 she be not H3808 able to bring H4672 H3027 H1767 a lamb H7716 , then she shall bring H3947 two H8147 turtles H8449 , or H176 two H8147 young H1121 pigeons H3123 ; the one H259 for the burnt offering H5930 , and the other H259 for a sin offering H2403 : and the priest H3548 shall make an atonement H3722 for H5921 her , and she shall be clean H2891 .
