1And the LORD said to Moses,
2“Say to the Israelites, “If a woman conceives, and gives birth to a son, then she shall be ceremonially unclean for seven days; just as she is unclean during her monthly period.
3And on the eighth day the son it to be circumcised.
4And she must wait thirty-three days from her bleeding; she must not touch anything sacred, nor enter the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying are fulfilled.
5But if she gives birth to a daughter, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as during her period: and she must wait thirty-three days from her bleeding sixty-six days.
6And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, whether for a son, or a daughter, she shall bring a year old lamb for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, to the entrance of the tabernacle of the congregation, to the priest:
7He shall offer them before the LORD, to make atonement for her; and she shall be ceremonially cleansed from her issue of blood. This is the law for a woman that has born a boy or a girl.
8And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.” Easy Reader Bible: Purple Letter Edition © 2023 by Jim Musser.
