|
1. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "Tell the Israelites: "When a woman gives birth, she will be unclean, just as she is during her monthly time of bleeding. If the baby is a boy, the mother will be unclean for seven days.

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. And in the eighth H8066 day H3117 the flesh H1320 of his foreskin H6190 shall be circumcised H4135 .
|
|
4. Because of the blood from childbirth, another 33 days must pass before she can touch anything that is holy. She must not enter the Holy Place until the time of her purification is finished.
|
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. But if she gives birth to a girl, the mother will be unclean for 14 days, just as she is during her monthly time of bleeding. Because of the blood from childbirth, another 66 days must pass before she becomes clean.
|
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. "After the time of her purification is finished, the new mother of a baby girl or boy must bring special sacrifices to the Meeting Tent. She must give her sacrifices to the priest at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. She must bring a one-yearold lamb for a burnt offering and a dove or young pigeon 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. If the woman cannot afford a lamb, she may bring two doves or two young pigeons. One bird will be for a burnt offering and one for a sin offering. The priest will offer them before the Lord. In this way the priest will make her pure, and she will be clean from the blood of childbirth. These are the rules for a woman who gives birth to a baby boy or a baby girl."
|
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 .
