Leviticus 12 - Interlinear Bible
Laws of Motherhood
2
"Speak to the
sons of
Israel,
saying :
'When a
woman gives birth and
bears a
male child, then she shall be
unclean for
seven days, as in the
days of her
menstruation * she shall be
unclean.
3
'On the
eighth day the
flesh of his
foreskin shall be
circumcised.
5
'But
if she
bears a
female child, then she shall be
unclean for two
weeks, as in her
menstruation ; and she shall
remain in the
blood of her
purification for
sixty-six days.
7
'Then he shall
offer it
before the
LORD and
make atonement for her, and she shall be
cleansed from the
flow of her
blood.
This is the
law for her who
bears a child, whether a
male or a
female.
8
'But
if she
cannot afford * a
lamb, then she shall
take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the
one for a
burnt offering and the
other for a
sin offering ; and the
priest shall
make atonement for her, and she will be
clean.' "
