| Chapter 12
|
1 | And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying, |
2 | Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman 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 eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. |
4 | And she shall then continue in
the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed
thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be
fulfilled. |
5 | But
if she bear a 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
when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she
shall bring a 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 atonement for
her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for
her that hath born a male or a female. |
8 | And if she 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: and the priest shall make an atonement for
her, and she shall be clean. |
