1 The purification of a woman after childbirth: 6 her offerings for her purifying.

1

AND the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a awoman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.

3

And in the beighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

4

And she shall then ccontinue in the blood of her purifying dthree and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.

d Lu. 3.23; 22; 23.
5

But if she bear ea maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.

6

And fwhen the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she gshall bring 1a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:

7

Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an hatonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born ia male or a female.

8

And jif 2she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two *turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: kand the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
